My mother, Muriel Silberman Brahinsky, wrote this upon the passing in February 2001 of her husband, my father, Henry Brahinsky.


Henry: In Memoriam (2001)


To dearest friends and mourners:
Please pause amid your grief.
From hours of pained uncertainty
God granted sweet relief.

Throughout his long and earthly life,
He played sweet melodies.
His music and his gentle words
Calmed like a passing breeze.

In this great life experience,
Good things come to an end.
Just know of our enduring loss
Of lifelong love and friend.
