“My father has taught me – as hisfather taught him – thatproviding meticulous service andpersonal attention is not a matterof choice. It is an obligation thatI have to our community. Lifeisn’t about living for yourself. It’sabout helping the less fortunate,contributing to the quality of life

enjoyed by the entire community and demonstrating a commitment totzedakah. As did each member of the Levine family before me, I measuresuccess by the feeling that comes with doing something to help comfort others.A simple thank you is the ultimate reward.

Forever LoveI hope that we will meet again,

out past the great beyond,To reestablish our relationshipof which I'm more than fond.

I would reconstruct the worldthat we had to leave behind,

And share once more continued lovebut now of a different kind.

There will be distractionssuch as we never ever knew,

But through the storm and chaosI'd stick to you like glue.

I'd express my deep emotionplanning things to say and do,

For my most treasured momentswere the days I spent with you.
