Other Notes:
[N] The text and line breaks are somewhat 'strained', due to the author's desire to have the end of lines 2-4, the first word of line 5 and the second of line 6, all rhyme with –ah ending.
[N2] The term 'kosher' implies that she kept an orthodox-Jewish household. [N3] הלכה תמים, literally 'walked flawlessly', is translated as 'of flawless character'.
[N7] Temerel is probably a diminutive of Tamar, palm tree or date, its fruit.
[N8] The descriptor Mar 'bitter' for the month of Cheshvan is widely encountered. Usually transcribed combined as Marcheshvan, it also often rendered in Hebrew as a single word מרחשון. The usual explanation given for the Mar prefix is that Cheshvan is the only Jewish month that is devoid of notable days, festive or otherwise.
See About Dobromyl for an index to headstone locations in the Wall of Memory.
Stone is recorded as Grounded because it is fixed in the Wall of Memory.
