Remembering Miles

Mackenzie Ward, Jackie Wertheimer, and Claire Weddle Silberman (pictured, from left) completed the Aramco Houston Half Marathon in memory of Jackie’s dad, the late Miles Wertheimer. The trio decided to run together and raise funds for Seven Acres Jewish Senior Care Services, an organization very special to Miles. Their fundraising efforts were successful, and they donated more than $5,000 to Seven Acres. Miles passed away in October 2025 and is remembered for his kindness and hospitality. He was known to welcome friends into the home he shared with his wife, Mindy, for any occasion over the years, big or small, and always greeted people with a smile. “Whether it was for a study session in high school, hosting of a Friendsgiving, the annual Hanukkah party, or just to hang out, Miles was there and he made our togetherness special,” says Claire.
