Translation by me from Hebrew to English:

Tonia Volfermn, the mom of Ilan Ramon, of blessed memory, died this morning at the old age home in Omer. On Israel Military Radio it was said that Volfermn was sick in a very hard disease for some time, and did not know about her son's voyage to space or of his death.

Here is the address if you wish to send condolences to the family; it is the same one used to express sympathy when Col. Ramon was killed in the Columbia tragedy. It was created by the IDF.

ilanfamily@mail.idf.il

It still works, I believe. I feel for this family. They have been through so much.
