IN MEMORIAM

JOSEPH BELIKOFF

April 21, 1916 December 29, 1994

Memories are treasures no one can steal. Death is a heartache no one can heal. Life goes on we know it’s true, but it will never be the same since I lost you. If tears can be a staircase, and memories a lane, we’d walk all the way to heaven just to bring you home again. Hindy and your loving family.
