The Congregation Poale Zedeck member, who quietly uttered the prayer while her husband did so elsewhere in their Squirrel Hill living room, noted it was her first time saying Yizkor at home. Like Lazar, Parness recited the memorial prayer for her parents, other relatives and fallen members of the Israel Defense Forces.
