Funerals are always difficult, especially if they are for the people you love, and so Marash Girl and Marash Boy were very sad to have to go to a funeral today for a wonderful woman: Linda (Zaroug) Durgarian. But along with the funeral came a wonderful story about Linda's early life. Born in upstate New York, when her father died, Zaroug, her mother, and sister moved to Dearborn Street in Springfield, Massachusetts. According to her cousin Arax, soon after the family arrived at Arax's home in Springfield, Arax, Arppie and Kenar sat down with their cousin Zaroug and help her choose a name . . . a name that would work in Springfield's American community. "Do you like Linda?" they asked her. And so, for time immemorial, their cousin Zaroug was known as Linda . . . even now with the angels in heaven. May God rest your soul, Linda.
