Folks, The unveiling of mom's headstone is Sunday, Sept. 25, 11:00 a.m. Arnold and I will host a small gathering to celebrate her life as Pearl would have liked. We can be sombre and reflective but once we leave the cemetery then it will be a time to rejoice. Please join us on Sunday.

Dear Sheldon, Arnold and families,

On behalf of my wife and myself, we extend sincere condolences to you.

May your mother's memory be a blessing.

It is customary to console the family with a quotation from the Bible, HAMOKOM YENACHEM ESCHEM BETOCH SHAAR AVELEI TZION VIRUSHOLAYIM,

May G-d grant you comfort and may you not know of any further pain in your families.

With friendship,
The Rosensheins.

Dear Sheldon and family,

There really are no words which can appropriately convey what you must be feeling at the loss of your Mom. But she must have done something right for you to have shown such devotion over such long and challenging journey. May she rest in her most deserved peace.

Hello Sheldon,
My condolences to you Sheldon my dear old friend and to you too Arnold. The passing of ones' mother is indeed a sorrowful time. I know that she meant a lot to you and your devotion to her must have meant so much to her. If indeed, as we believe, the Spirit or Essence of a person is something Transcendental, then we can be reassured that your mother felt the love and caring you gave her all these years.
Bless you my brother,

Eddy
