> I am saddened to share the news that Estee's father, Martin Mermelstein, passed away this evening.  
>  
> A very brief memorial service will take place tomorrow (Sunday) morning at 10:00am at Levinson Brothers Funeral Home at 8900 Reisterstown Road in Pikesville.  Estee, her sister and I will travel to Israel immediately thereafter, where her father will be buried in Jerusalem next to Estee's mother.  The family will be returning to the U.S. to observe Shiva.  Details to follow.
>  
> Estee's father was a remarkable man who, despite enduring the loss of most of his family during the Holocaust, remained a man of deep faith, great humor and boundless love for his family.  His greatest joy was spending time with his five grandchildren, and he will be greatly missed by them and by us.
>  
> Estee and I deeply appreciate the many offers of help and expressions of kindness.   For now, hug your families and keep ours in your thoughts.
