IRIS GOREN—Aureet's Cousin, 1991
(translated from Hebrew)
…It is so difficult to imagine that the most horrible of all happened to you, Zvi and Miriam, who always knew how to rejoice in the joy of others and always listen to their troubles and find with them a beautiful way to solve their problems big or small.
Ever since I can remember, I have always felt excited expecting your visits to Israel. Even today when I hear about your coming to visit, I still feel the excitement and treasure the moments we spend together. I always wish we could have more time together. I know that if Aureet and I lived closer to each other, we probably would have a wonderful connection. We could have been very close friends. Even in the few times we spent together in the United States and during Aureet's last visit in Israel with the whole family, there was an immediate and genuine connection. Aureet was exquisitely beautiful and her beauty stemmed from her warmth that radiated from within her. My brothers told me of wonderful times they spent with her and my mother loved her with all her heart…
