To our members and friends about our friend, EDITH TAXIN
It is with much sadness that we let you know of the passing of EDITH TAXIN (known to many as EDIE) on September 25th. Edie was a resident of our Delray Beach Shabbat venue, Azalea, and was over 102 years old. Edie attended our Shabbat celebrations almost every week until her health no longer allowed her. Memorial services will be held at the Riverside Memorial Chapel, 7205 West Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach, on Monday, September 28 at 1:45 pm. Interment will be held at Eternal Light Memorial Gardens, 11520 State Road 441, Boynton Beach, on Sept. 28 at 3:00 pm. Rabbi Carol Robbins-Garrett will be officiating at the memorial services for Edie.
Edie will be remembered with love always by L'Dor Va-Dor
for her joie de vivre, vivaciousness, and ruach!
May her memory always be for a blessing.

ENJOY a little Humor!

- Artificial Intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

How come they don't sing "Happy Birthday" in the delivery room?
- Walking down the street, I was hit by a Violin, then a Clarinet, then a French Horn. I think it was an orchestrated attack.
- Why don't oysters share their pearls? Because they're shellfish.
- If mediums can communicate with the dead, imagine what a large could do...
