Dear Rabbi, what a catastrophic loss for your family, community, talmidim, friends, co-workers...
I saw you almost every morning, always greeting me with the kindest smile, warmth emanating from you...
Your sincere concern for all those around you, words of encouragement, wisdom, hope...
I honestly have the most hollow sick feeling of grief when thinking of how your family and students will carry on without you. You had such a deep, profound and life changing effect on everyone you interacted with...
I will miss you and bid you well. I hope that those that called you Rebbe will find some comfort knowing that the suffering of this world is no longer a part of your peckel, and now that you are with Hashem and are reunited with your Rebbe, you will continue to work from your place to help bring about the final redemption, with the coming of Moshiach, in our time, Amen
Our deepest sympathies and prayers are with you, Rebbetzin Dena Dubrawsky and your children and grand children at this tragic and heart wrenching time, I can not imagine your grief, our love,
yosef vernon and family
Richmond, BC

To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common--this is my symphony.
WILLIAM HENRY CHANNING.
