(What I mean is: is the Sabbath day *especially* dedicated to commemnorate the departed?). I'm really interested about this.
think of that face on Sabbath, when you say kaddish, the prayer for the dead. Because there's no one else left to say it
Words are at a loss here... (But I think, however, that this woman's name is rather predestined, don't You agree? -- I mean, "Mrs. Comfort"). Makes one wonder ...
No, actually I think I didn't. Kaddish = prayer for the departed, (right?). And the lady above mentioned it explicitely in her statements as being said on the Sabbath: think of that face on Sabbath, when you say kaddish, the prayer for the dead

I'm afraid you confused the Kadish with the Kidush. They sound similar but are totally different...
