We mourn the passing of Gregg Alpert


Bill here...

We are home after a week at my sister's home following her husband (and my close friend) Gregg's untimely death from a heart attack. I am wiped out physically and am starting to recover emotionally.

I have a sincere appreciation for the Jewish tradition of Shiva (look it up) to put some distance between the death and the time when the surviving family is alone. In that time so many of the Alpert's friends and associates became an army of angelic helpers. Most of us family rarely needed to lift a finger, and we never lacked food or drink. And their Rabbi, John Linder, was such a blessing.

I miss my friend and my heart aches for my sister Julie, who lost her best friend, her true companion.

Please continue to lift up her family in your prayers.
