I have said it many times and will surely say it many more. While this journey is very difficult, I am also privileged to meet so many amazing kids (and families) along the way. Words cannot do justice to the grace, courage, kindness, and maturity that they possess.
One of those very special children is Rina Goldberg. I can honestly say that I am a better person because I have been honored to know Rina. She is my friend. She has taught me so much. And, today at 1:00pm, Rina joined Andrew. She lived 14 years in this world.
I have taken the liberty to paste below the beautiful words of Rina's parents, Stacy and Ari. Please pray for Stacy, Ari, and all of Rina's family and friends.
Ali's & Andrew's Dad & Rina's friend

Rina Chana bat Ratzah Sarah completed her life's journey today at around 1:00 PM. She was wrapped in her special blanket in an environment of peace and serenity, with the music of her beloved Debbie Friedman playing in the background.
We are comforted that the olam habah (the world to come) is a place in which there are no physical limitations and that she has been joined to the generations with beloved relatives and friends.
May HaKadosh Baruch Hu (The Holy One, Praised Be He) comfort all of us who loved Rina by continuing her legacy of loving life and Being Positive (B+) every day.
