This short was made by my son Eric years ago as a commemoration for my mother-in-law Lena who passed away. Lena was married to Marty who began their marriage in 1945, after being sweethearts since age 13. Her husband Marty was born in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, New York in 1922 . He had one younger brother. Marty died in 2003, at the age of 81. Lena was also born in Brighton Beach in 1923. Her parents were originally from Istanbul, Turkey. Lena had six older siblings. Lena died in 2006 and was reunited with Marty at Mt. Sinai Cemetery to be together forever.
