Szloma Mops, great-grandson Gus, daughter Lydia Sarfati and granddaughter Ires Wilbanks

My beloved father, Szloma Mops, passed away very suddenly and without warning in February. I will miss talking to him because he maintained such a positive spirit even though he was a Holocaust survivor who lost his entire family during the war. Whenever I became overwhelmed with fear of the unknown, he'd say, "Don't worry, Lydia, it will be good." Whenever I called and asked how he was, his answer was always the same: "I am perfect." Now my grandson Gus says the same thing.
