Crime Stopping REDUX: Canadian Visitor Dies After Attack

I just got a message from Canada that Ms. Terry Schwarzfeld has died.

She had been in a coma after being attacked on Long Beach, on February 28, 2009, where she and her daughter-in-law were attacked, beaten and left unconscious. Ms. Schwarzfeld had suffered severe brain damage from the attack. She was recently named president of the Canadian chapter of Hadassah-WIZO, a charitable Jewish women's organization.

My sincere sympathies go out to her family and may her soul be blessed.
