  Dear Rabbi Cohen,    What a week !  Full of sorrow...it is a hard one for all of us.  I can not imagine how you are handling all of these events. It is really making me think and pray.  I did not know Joanna that well but i decided to compose a little something in her honor. Thank you for asking.  If you do go to Israel to visit the Cantor and Tehilla -- please send them our love-- i did email them and tried to call with no luck. Hopefully we will see him sometime soon. Sincerely, Shelley and Eddie           Joanna Bell , was more than the Rabbi's secretary. She was my friend. She was a warm, perky, sweet, very intelligent,caring, and always willing to help out to make everything I was involved in , successful , ALL the Simcha Torah Luncheons, the Senior Luncheons, and the upcoming Shul Trip to Philadelphia.       She was a lover of life. She told me that she would go to the beach and take walks, she ate healthy-always had interesting snacks by her desk, and was genuinely interested in all our lives and all things Jewish. She was very respectful as well.      At the recent shul dinner , she looked so elegant and was so happy to be there. She went out of her way and took Eddie and me over to meet her good friend.      Walking into the Shul office which I do often will never be the same without Joanna Bell. She will surely be missed.                     Shelley Senker
