Dear Lee, Beth, Ian, Mark, Jill and Wesley,
I have just learned about the passing of your mother. I have a great tenderness of the heart for you loss. Even having lived into a long life it is still a heart rending sense of a mother. I remember the feeling of a great generosity of heart and warmth of a welcoming smile. That you have all seemed to carry on in this way is a great tribute to her and to all of you.

A refrain from prayer that I found in the Siddur, When We Remember Them, comes to my mind now.
As long as we live, they too will live;
for they are now a part of us,
as we remember them.
May it be so...
In this time of transition from the past year into the New Year may G-d Bless you and your families and may the goodness that she left with us continue to bless us all. May you find support from each other and from your community of friends.
Sending Love and heartfelt wishes of tenderness and sympathy to you all and to All a L'Shana Tova

Rosyne was a beautiful, caring, warm, enchanting woman who embraced all of her children's friends as they grew. Some of my happiest memories are visiting the Gardenswartz household with all of the kids and Rosyne presiding calmly over all of it. As an only child, I loved the energy of the Gardenswartz home.

I am so sorry I cannot attend services as I currently live in Tucson, AZ. May each of you wonderful children be comforted by your warm memories of Rosyne and all of the years she was with you.

Lee, Beth, Ian, Mark, Jill and Wesley. My thoughts and love are with you during this time of mourning and celebration of your beloved Mom. Here are a few of my favorite memories with Aunt Rosyne and all of you: I loved walking to your parents grocery store from my grandmothers house when I was about 6-9 years old. Your Mom used to give me candy when your Dad wasn't looking. As you might imagine, I became a regular customer ;-). When I visited your home as a child, my favorite food memory was your Mom's gigantic pot of spaghetti and sitting with her at her at your kitchen table talking about anything and everything. I remember doing a lot of Beadwork with Jill during that time as well. I remember playing with Wesley at Bubbie's house when all of the parents and adults were in the finished basement kitchen and we snuck upstairs. When your Mom came to retrieve us -she did it with gentle kindness, love and knowledge that we were "just" kids. I remember with fondness every Jewish holiday we all shared together at Bubbies. I was always at the child table, you guys being a few years older were at the adult table. I remember the enthusiastic songs and prayers. Particularly, Dayanu and the banging on the tables while the beads of sweat fell down bubbles basement windows on Passover. There were a lot of us packed into a very small room. I really loved our Hanukkahs too!! Beth and Lee, I loved every Jewish holiday I spent with you as an adult while I lived in LA and appreciate that you brought me in as family and I loved the breakfast we had in LA just a little over 1 year ago. Mark and Ian, I remember you leading all of the services at the Alliance that weren't in the main sanctuary during this exact time, the high holidays!. I was too young and talkative to remain in the main sanctuary for long periods of time. Your services across the hall at the old Alliance were amazing. I was always shocked at this time of year that you got to wear Tennis shoes during the service! I wanted to wear tennis shoes instead of the patent leather shoes I got right before the holidays! The last time I saw your Mom was a few years ago at Blake or Seths Bar or Bat Mitzvah. It was joyous to spend time with her and introduce her to Leslie, my partner of over 20 years. Each of you hold a special memory in my heart and you have all in your own ways.... continued the legacy that your Mom and Dad taught you. I apologize for the length of this message. I live in Minnesota and won't see you during this time, but wanted you to know I am thinking of each of you AND your Mom too. L'Shona Tova. May this year bring you all the love and joy your parents wanted for you. Love your cousin, Michelle (Silverman)
