MAKE LIFE BETTER
Because Sandy Danto's grandparents'
lives were forcibly extinguished during
the Holocaust, she and her husband, Jim,
wanted to find a way to honor their mem-
ories with the dignity they were denied.

ADELA ENGEL, 92,
The Dantos created the Gitel and
Yankel Muskovitz, Sarah and Kalma
Garfinkel Memorial fund at JHCN to
help individuals and their families cope
with terminal illness and end-of-life
issues.
"We support JHCN because it helps
provide the dignity denied to my
grandparents at life's end," Sandy says.
"We are grateful for the spiritual
support, counseling and compassionate
services JHCN offers."
