Note From The Creator

My grandma Claire Soria has always told me pieces of her stories forever and then would say “Remember when I told you…”

It’s a phrase we often hear but I think most people use it as a trigger not to firm up their memory.

Despite hearing so many tales for so many years, I still feel I had no ability to recollect details and info and family members and felt it necessary to get these stories in their best form, directly from the person in the ultimate oral tradition of the Jewish people.

A life well lived is worthy of making sure it is a life well remembered.
