Ariella’s Eulogy

Beloved Stephie,
Ami, your partner, forever Stephie’s Ami, for better or worse, summed you up in the painful
ad to us as who you are—loved, precious, and special.
I will also say that Stephie, with your original name, Stephanie, is so beautiful to the Israeli
ear.
You are a superhero – how much you fought and suffered to get rid of what happened to
you…
You amazed us with your determination, courage, and decision to continue with the
treatments, surgeries, and endless difficult tests, continuing with your routine,
and travelling to England to spend time with the family. You have always stated that you
have no choice but to continue, and you chose this path for Ami.
Until you got tired of all the tireless efforts…
Stephie, there is not enough time or space to compliment you and appreciate you, a good
friend, a loving partner to Ami, a perfectionist, and kind, with good taste in fashion and
design.
Wherever you go, you leave an air of ease, elegance, generosity and humour with a wink.
How much knowledge you showered on us in culture: movies, TV series, singers and music
in general – Elvis, Tom Jones, Cliff Richard… but Tom Jones always won.
Every photo you took was special – what a touch in photography!
And I haven’t mentioned the long trips all over the world, to places far, far away, places
that only Stephie and Ami plan and hit the mark – both of you with curiosity and a desire to
meet the strong and exotic.
This is how you learnt about other peoples, from the heights of the Andes to some remote
tribe in New Zealand.
Stephie, we are not parting away from you, you are with us and in our hearts.
We promise you to be very close to Ami as you wanted.
