Edith Lowe (Tova Gittel), Janet Lowe’s mother, passed away last night suddenly in New Mexico. She was 87 and in good physical health, although she was suffering from dementia. She passed away quickly and peacefully with Janet’s sister, brother-in-law, her dog Penny and her beloved caretaker Susie present. Edith will be buried in New Jersey with Janet’s father.

Shalom al nishmat Tova Gittel (peace on Edith’s soul) and many blessings of strength and comfort to Janet and her family.
