Metro Detroit’s Jewish funeral homes have agreed that families should follow the directive of Centers for Disease Control and restrict the size of gatherings to no more than 36.

 I had the good fortune to know Marion since our days at Bagley.  She was a kind, warm  and sincere human being. It was an honor to have known her.

She made a difference in this troubled world of ours. She will be missed.
