Dylan was born in Coudersport, Pennsylvania on May 27, 1990 where he spent his earliest years running and playing in the picturesque countryside of rural upstate Pennsylvania. In April of 1994 at age 4, Dylan suffered a near-drowning incident in the pond behind his family's home and was without a heartbeat for over two and a half hours. Thanks to the herioc efforts of Doctors Michael Akl, Charles Okorie and John Breznik and their staff at Charles Cole Memorial Hospital, Dylan was miraculously revived allowing him to continue his life with his loving parents, brohter and sisters. The ensuing years were difficult ones for Dylan. He required extensive rehabilitation, medical attention and constant care, provided almost entirely by the unwavering, inexhaustible devotion to him by his mother, Jan, who is a registered nurse. Although Dylan's injury made him appear frail, he possessed strength, perseverance and the ability to overcome incredible odds and physical challenges. With his courage he led those around him to understand each day is a blessing and an opportunity to create lasting memories. Dylan could spend hours watching his beloved Disney movies and being close to those he loved so much. He loved music, the color blue, an occasional swim and even finished last year's Crescent City Classic 10K road race, pushed along by his Mom. With Dylan's passing we remind others that his life is one to be celebrated. Although we will miss him every day, he will remain forever in our hearts. It was a privilege to be a member of Dylan's family. Dylan is survived by his father, Dr. James "Sandy" Barke', his mother, Janet Barke', his stepfather, Timothy Painter, his brother, Gavin Barke', his sisters: Brittany and Gillian Barke', his maternal grandmother, Agnes Beaver, and his paternal grandmother, Virginia Barke'.

He moved to Florida after Hurricane Katrina. He was eighty-three years old. "Siggy" was born in Wielun, Poland, on July 18, 1925. His parents Chaim and Golda (Gucia) Boraks and his younger sister Basia, along with his extended family, perished at Treblinka death camp in Nazi- occupied Poland in 1942. "Siggy" was sent to Blizyn labor camp and then to Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp. There his arm was tattooed with the number B-2039. In late 1944, "Siggy" was sent to Kaufering labor camp near Munich, Germany, which he described as worse than Auschwitz. After a "death march" across southern Germany, "Siggy" was liberated at Dachau concentration camp by American troops on April 29, 1945. His only surviving relative was his uncle, Gustav Boraks, who participated in the Jewish revolt at Treblinka in 1943 and escaped. After the war, in Frankfurt, Germany, "Siggy" met Margot Neuburger. She had suffered as a forced laborer under the Nazis. They married on May 29, 1946. Penniless and not knowing English, they emigrated to New Orleans, La. in 1952, where they raised their four children. "Siggy" initially worked three jobs to support his family: as a lens grinder during the day, a janitor at night, and a gas station attendant on weekends. He became a certified "master optician" and worked at Bausch and Lomb, United Optical, Vision Center, Pearl Vision, and Browne McHardy Clinic. He eventually owned and operated his own optical business. Margot died in 1994. In the last ten years of his life, "Siggy" dedicated himself to educating young people about the Holocaust. Under the auspices of the Southern Institute for Education and Research at Tulane University, "Siggy" spoke to students and teachers in New Orleans and throughout Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, and Alabama. He once spoke at teacher education workshops on five consecutive days in five different cities: Mobile, Montgomery, Birmingham, Alabama, and Jackson and Laurel, Mississippi. Asked why he never removed the tattoo on his arm, "Siggy" answered: "I'm not embarrassed by it. The people who put it there should be embarrassed by it." In his presentations, "Siggy" described the horrors of the Holocaust, but his central message was one of tolerance. "You can't blame everybody for somebody," he said. "Siggy" was a much beloved figure to teachers and students across the Deep South. Many teachers share his life story with their students in the effort to put a face on the immense tragedy. "Siggy" is survived by his children, Renate Greenfield of Apollo Beach, Florida, Brigitte Becker of Riverview, Florida, Henry "Beau" Boraks of Metairie, Peter Boraks of Mandeville, and by seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his daughter-in-law Judy Cambre Boraks and son-in-laws Lawrence Greenfield, MD, and Gary Becker.

Times Picayune 7/30/2008 **************************************** 000260 Ellis MD. - Robert George Ellis, MD after a courageous year's struggle with pancreatic cancer, supported by the constant love and care of his wife Darcy, died peacefully in New Orleans on Monday, July 21, 2008. A lifelong resident of New Orleans, he was born March 19, 1954. Dr. Ellis graduated from Metairie Park Country Day High School in 1972. He began undergraduate studies at Colorado College in Colorado Springs and continued at the London School of Economics before graduating from Tufts University in Boston, Massachusetts with Honors. He earned his medical degree at George Washington University in Washington, DC in 1981, completed an internship at Charity Hospital in 1982 and worked in primary care until 1989, after which he became a resident in Psychiatry at Tulane Medical Center. In 1992, he was honored to receive the Robert C. Lancaster Prize as the most caring Psychiatrist among graduating residents from Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans. After completing his residency in Psychiatry, Dr. Ellis joined the faculty at Tulane where he remained until after Hurricane Katrina. He rapidly rose through the ranks of the Psychiatry and Neurology Department to become a member of the Executive Finance Committee from 1998-2006. As the Director of Tulane Psychiatry at Charity Hospital from 1997-2006, Dr. Ellis supervised the Tulane psychiatric residency program and was held in very high esteem by his colleagues, residents, and medical students. At Tulane University Medical School, he won six consecutive Owl Club awards for teaching excellence. From 2002-2006 he served as Charity Hospital Co-Director of Mental Health Services, a grueling task. Having attained Psychiatric Board Certification with subspecialty certification in Geriatrics and Addiction, Dr Ellis's expertise was, for many years, tapped by the American Board of Psychiatry to be an examiner of candidates for board certification and by Unisys to evaluate Medicaid psychiatric pre-certification for the state of Louisiana. He was a member of nine national, regional, and local professional medical associations including the prestigious Robert Heath Society. Following Hurricane Katrina, at a time when the region was in dire need of psychiatrists, Dr. Ellis returned to New Orleans and La Place to serve his patients. He willingly gave his time and talents attending to those patients who were in financial need. Robert had many interests outside of his medical work. As a pragmatic idealist, he supported the Southern Poverty Law Center, "to make the nation's Constitutional ideals a reality, fight all forms of discrimination and to protect society's most vulnerable members". He was elected as the Councilor from Louisiana to the Southern Medical Association, an organization he served with distinction and valued highly for its goals of "Advocacy, Leadership, Quality, and Professional Identity." With his wife Darcy, Robert traveled worldwide visiting his relatives in Lebanon and he especially enjoyed the pleasures of swimming while exploring beautiful beaches of this and foreign lands. His passion for excellent food and wine was exceeded only by his enjoyment of the company he kept. As a life time season ticket holder for several sports teams in New Orleans, he loved to attend Tulane Green Wave football games and he was an ardent fan of the New Orleans Saints and the New Orleans Hornets. Above all else, he loved his family and he cared for them in every way possible. Dr. Ellis will be missed by countless relatives, friends and colleagues for his loving, generous, gentle nature as well as his exceedingly sharp wit and sense of humor. He is survived by his loving wife and constant companion, Darcy Earl Ellis; his brother, George S. Ellis, Jr., MD, and wife Kelley; and his sister Joan Ellis Green and husband David. Survivors also include his nieces and nephews, Richard and Reeves Ellis; Kevin, Michelle and Robert Ellis Green; and Katherine and Patrick Hunter. He was preceded in death by his parents, George S. Ellis, Sr. MD and Lorraine Haik Ellis.

Marsha was a caring, generous, and intelligent person. One of the many ways that these traits were on full display throughout her life was in her choice to pursue a career in nursing. Marsha graduated from the Touro Nursing School in New Orleans, followed by Anaesthesia School at Charity, where she graduated as a Nurse Anesthetist. Marsha's love of travel and adventure took her to Beth Israel Hospital in Boston, where she began her nursing career. After a few years, she then returned to Touro in New Orleans. A few years later, Marsha and Jim married and relocated to Raceland where she began caring for patients and friends at Saint Anne Hospital in Raceland and then moved to Chabert Medical Center in Houma. Through the years, Marsha touched and helped many people, including playing a significant role in the health care decisions for her mother and now-deceased father. Marsha was the "glue" that kept family and friends in contact and close to one another, and she enjoyed the good times that were had amongst them. Her sense of humor was keen, her laugh infectious, and you always knew she was in the room! Laissez les bon temps roulez! The family wishes to pass along their thanks to all of her family and friends that prayed for her recovery, as well as to the outstanding professionals at both Ocshner and Touro. Their compassionate care for Marsha was thorough and comforting, and is appreciated by all of us. Marsha would be very proud of all of you.

She was joined the next year by her 13 year old sister, Virginia "Nan". They resided briefly at the Louisa Convent. She remained in New Orleans until October 2007. Kitty really loved being with people. She became a world-class Waitress and a French Quarter character. She could be seen for many years riding around the Quarter on her motorbike with her dog, Peanut, in the basket. During the 1950's and again in the 70's she worked at Rizzo's Italian Restaurant in the Quarter. Her happiest days were in the 1960's, working at the Hong Kong Restaurant on West End and hanging out at Maggie & Smitty's in Bucktown. She was a fabulous dancer with a penchant for Cutty Sark Scotch. Kitty was an accomplished seamstress, a collector of antiques and Junque, and an enviable Southern cook…the best seafood gumbo on the planet. All done with a colorful and effortless flair. She was at once aggravating and sometimes irrational, impulsive, giving, hilarious, bright and (in her own words) "so damned cute". Quick to tout her triumphs and still ready to laugh at herself. And laugh she did - often. She thought of herself as a happy-go-lucky "survivor". She called it like it was. She will be so missed. Divorced/single parent of a son and daughter.

Vaz, age 79, of Bay St. Louis, MS, died on Wednesday, July 23, 2008 in Tampa, FL. Lois was the only child of Thelma Glover of New Orleans, LA and Louis White of Bay St. Louis, MS. Born in 1928, she grew up on the South Side of Chicago, IL and spent summers in New Orleans and Bay St. Louis with her grandparents. Back in Chicago, for the school year, she played the piano and took dance lessons from Katherine Dunham. She graduated from high school at 16 and completed Business College two years later. Then she and her parents moved to South Bend, Indiana where Lois became friends with many talented young women. The new friends adopted the title "Sisters between Ourselves." In 1952, they formed the "Sorelle Entre Nous Club," a social and philanthropic organization with the motto, "not for ourselves, but others." Their mission continues today as "promoting the best interests of the community and striving for its general welfare and elevation." Among their many charitable activities included producing "The Ebony Fashion Fair" and raising scholarship money for gifted children. Lois served the organization in a number of leadership roles throughout her life. In 1955, while working in her parent's family- owned store she met Winston Vaz, the man she would marry and spend her life with. Winston was an educator and Lois was a homemaker; together they raised their two children, Winston and Kim. Lois and her family enjoyed a large network of relatives and friends. She was an avid league bowler, a Den Mother for the Cub Scouts and was active in her parish church. They were married on May 7, 1955 until he preceded her in death in January, 1999. In 1969, Lois and her family relocated to New Orleans, Louisiana to be near her aging parents, maternal grandmother, Virginia Glover, and Aunt Eulalie. Lois worked in the administrative office of several public schools in New Orleans where she was affectionately known as "Vaz." Upon their retirement, Lois and Winston moved to her father's home in Bay St. Louis, MS where they settled into the community, continuing her parent's tradition of hosting yard parties such as "crawfish boils." Always on the go, Lois traveled a great deal throughout her retirement. Her spirited demeanor left an impact on everyone she encountered. Lois was devoted to her family, friends and her church, St. Rose de Lima. She was generous with her time and resources to those in need in her community and volunteered for regular administrative tasks at Church and as well as their annual Fair. She had an amazing wit and was quick to turn a phrase. Her compassion, sharp intelligence, accessibility, humor, and "joy of life" attracted the old and the young to seek her company and counsel. She leaves to mourn her passing her children: Winston Vaz of Colorado Springs, CO and Kim Vaz of Tampa, FL, three grandchildren: Patrick Vaz, Alexis Vaz, and Iya Vaz; her niece, Sheila Vaz Gaskins of New Orleans, LA; her great nephew, Howard Gaskins, Jr. of Baton Rouge, LA; her daughter-in-law, Patsy Vaz; cousins: Leatrice Cane, Valee Salone and Vinston Glover; her aunt, Barbara Little; her Sorrelle Sisters: Nola Allen, Ruby Joyce, Sarah Oldham, Freddie and Wertie Johnson, Evelyn Baugh, Christyne Woolridge, Ernestine Grayson, Lauretta Haynes, and Doris Haley; her beloved caregivers: "Evelena," "Jlean," and "Grace"; and a host of friends.
