Hi Enid and Jan,
I'm so sorry for your loss. Your Mom was truly one of the "Good Mom's". I remember both "Mr. & Mrs. Rosenthal" with great affection and warmth. They were gems. If it helps, please know that this guy from yesterday has you in his thoughts today.
Love,
Andi, Jan, and Phyllis Rosenthal

Dear Jan, Matt and Michael,
I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom. Having lost my Mom last December, I can only say I am with you and am holding you and your family in the light. Perhaps our Moms are having a good chat now, comparing notes on raising daughters, laughing and sharing stories filled with good memories and no pain.
Love you!

Dear Jan, Michael, Matthew, Enid, and Jack,
We are so sorry to hear about your mom. Love the picture and can see the resemblance! She lived a creative life, and raised two very creative daughters of whom she was no doubt extremely proud.
I'm so glad that she moved to Buffalo and had so many years with her family.
Thinking of you during this difficult time.
With deepest sympathy,

Jan, When I met your Mom, it was clear to me where your love for life and sense of joy came from. I can remember the tears of laughter we all shared at Cheryl's shower and how she played along with all of us as if we had been life long friends. And later, how she put our "teenage" issues into a humourous perspective by reminiscing about you and Enid... hence freejewishadvice.com. That part of her spirit will always live on because it resonates in you. I am glad to have met your Mom, she was a special soul.

Jan, Enid and family - Mom and I are so sorry about Mom's passing. I have such wonderful memories of all our get-togethers at the Grant House, Juran House and your mom & dad's & grandparents. It was one of the few places I loved being. Enid - I even remember getting together at the beach years ago and visiting your grandmother, who was one of my favorites also. Mom's at peace and with Dad. I only have wonderful thoughts of our families together and Mom's laughter. With much love - Irene Grant and Lil Grant

Jan, Enid, Matthew, Jack, and Michael,
I wish I could be with all of you now and celebrate Hattie's long life. As Hattie's niece, I was blessed to have her support and love as well as share many Thanksgivings, Passovers, and Chanukah celebrations together. Hattie always had an incredible sense of humor and love of life. Most importantly, her love and support of Jan and Enid was so palpable. She k'velled in their success and gave her 100% support to them. In her later years, Hattie was such a support to Jan in Buffalo and was so thrilled to be an active part of Jan's life. She loved being a grandmother and was so proud of Matthew. Hattie will be sorely missed.

Dear Jan, Enid, Michael, Jack and Matthew,
I was so saddened to hear of Hattie's death. She was such a lovely human being.
The thing I remember most about Hattie is what an incredibly good sport she was when Jan and I were in high school. I mean, we smashed up the car (well, Jan did, actually, at the corner of Jensen & Woodbridge ...) and after she found out we were okay she .. rolled her eyes! She may have even have said, "eck!" I remember volunteering at the Ballet in the runup to the Nutcracker and how Hattie just presided with great good humor over all manner of shenanigans. I remember when we dressed up a raw chicken and gave it an apple head and posed it in a sitting position in the fridge for Hattie's amusement, and she didn't let us down ...she thought it was hysterical and I loved her for that. And don't even get me started on the dyed brown tights for the Ballet that got tossed in the dryer with Mort's BVDs ... I think she may have rolled her eyes on that account, as well. I also remember that time, Jan, when I came to visit you in NYC and you had just gotten news that Hattie's heart surgery had gone beautifully. Boy, if only everyone could get close to 30 years out of a heat operation!
I don't know what to say except to offer my heartfelt condolences. It's not often when you hear of someone passing and it feels like the end of an era.
Sending tons of love and hugs and gratitude for a wonderful mom who was beyond kind to her daughter's geeky friend during those tumultuous high school years.
Love, "Rose"mary Turkington Freeman

Jan and Enid,
I loved your mom! I only have wonderful memories of our families and all the fun. We used to laugh 'til our sides hurt and the tears flowed. She was a precious gem.
As an adult Stew and I had the pleasure of her company on many happy occasions and she was so attentive and loving to our son Mike.
Her spirit and memory will live on forever in those who had the honor of knowing her!
Love,
Beth & Stew Crossen

Dear Jan & Enid,
So sorry to hear your mom passed away. I'm so glad to have known her and actually gotten to try her world famous chopped liver!

Enid and Jan,
My condolences. Your wonderful mother, Hattie, was always a good friend to my parents and a great hostess to our group of friends. One of my fondest recollections is that she loved my father's chopped herring so much, she would dab it behind her ears in an effort to get the recipe.
Regards also to Jinx and Mort Herman

Enid and Jan,
I was so sad to learn about your Mom passing away. I have many great memories of your entire family and those long ago days in Manchester (especially at The Fairway !). I really hope that I'm able to get back to Manchester and see both of you there in the near future to celebrate the life of both of your wonderful parents.
Much Love,
Cousin Jimmy
