The Reunion THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR A WONDERFUL WEEKEND IN JASCHA'S MEMORY October 20-22, 2000 Rabbi Mellen's Unveiling Reading Article in Real Detroit: (click to read):
Comments after the weekend... My goodness! Did Judy and Sandy really know what they were doing to trust me to baby-sit Jascha. and then Gabe too...even for a whole week? I couldn't have been more than 15 myself! I'm so glad that Jascha touched my life so many years ago, and now again through the words of his loving friends....Pam Sachs Clack
Every time I eat a bagel at the office and there is hummus on the table, I think of Jascha. Every time I see his father with dark glasses on in the office, I think of his love for his son AND visa versa. Every time I see his law school diploma and his hat for Lino's, in his old office, I can't believe he's gone. And he isn't. He will always be alive as long as we remember him. Who could ever forget him???!!! Fondly, Cary A. Storchan It was beautiful. It was magical. It was glorious. Thank YOU. Love, Judy Dear Judy: I know I can speak on behalf of all of our friends when I say thank you for sharing that weekend with us. We all appreciated being able to get together, and see each other at your home. It is certainly a testament to Jascha, but also to you, Sandy, and Gabe as well. Keep on "keeping on", Jason Hillman Dear Judy, I'm so glad to hear that Jascha's Memorial Weekend was successful. Even though I couldn't be there, I said a prayer for Jascha. I watched the Michigan/Michigan State game on satellite from my home in Arizona and smiled as I thought of everyone. It's nice to know that the bond we have as former Grovites keeps us strong. In fact, someone who graduated from our high school contacted me and is living not far from me. We may actually get together over the Thanksgiving holiday. What a small world! Please keep in touch and if you're ever in the Southwest, don't hesitate to contact me. I would love to meet you in person. Love, Laura Blumberg Judy: I am so sorry for missing the event. Know this, I think of Jascha frequently and laugh when I think of that wonderful smile of his. It happens all the time, So believe me, I was there in spirit as well. Jason Badian You both are remarkable people. Thank you for an amazing weekend. I can't wait to see you again soon. With love, Jordan Atlas To the Gelman family, I would just like to take this opportunity to thank you so very much for organizing the reunion in Jascha's honor. I think we all needed to come together to remember Jascha the way he wanted to be remembered, with laughter and smiles. It meant so much to my friends and I to share this with you, his family. Although I could only attend Friday night, it truly was an amazing night. I loved the video compilation. I don't think there was a dry eye in the house!!! Again, I wanted to thank you so much for including me. I will never forget that weekend, like I will never forget Jascha. He was truly a spectacular person. He will always be in my heart. Sincerely, Amy Wechsler
