Not sure what to say?

Hi, I took the Quality Infant Care Workshop with Dr. Honing in 2010. This was life changing and I learned so much. I have been able to integrate this information and knowledge into so much that I do in ECE. I use her texts as well. She was an amazing powerhouse. I often think of her. She was engaging and amazing, beyond a treasure. She is missed.

Hi, I´m a former patient. I found this page on a Google search and am very sad to see that she has passed. Condolences to the family. I loved Dr. Honig so much as my therapist. I´m glad she made it to her 90s! She was incredibly smart and I hope to one day be as amazing a therapist as her. She was extremely intuitive and knew what to say. May she rest in peace.

Hey, I am a former patient. Professor Honig helped from thinking about suicidal thoughts. I was 23 years old by then, alone and hopeless in Syracuse University. It is professor Honig who helped me out. She also kindly offered me a free skype therapy after he suffered from stroke. She lives in my heart for ever. Thanks to bring so much joy and happiness to people who needs help. May she rest in peace in heaven.

Susan Schwieger and I were blessed to spend a week at SU with Dr. Alice Honig. The Quality Infant Toddler Training was wonderful! Alice was a great mentor!

I took Dr. Honig's Child Development class in the late 80s and was immediately drawn in by her warmth, sparkling eyes, and passionate teaching. I still remember so many of the things she taught us about children and I often used this knowledge when raising my own. She was an amazing woman.

I 'only' knew Alice as a part of the congregational family. I say only with marks because to know Alice was to know her strong spirit, her kindness, her depths of intelligence. She always made a point of saying hello to me, asking how I was, and made me feel less alone in times where I felt completely isolated. Her death came as a surprise, in some ways, because oftentimes she felt like she wasn't capable of something so simple as death. She was so strong, so capable, and the only thing I can...

Alice was an extraordinary ray of light, plainly said. I first met her at the Jewish Community Center in 2018 or 2019. I would go to lunch there with my grandfather on Thursdays occasionally. A short, energetic woman came bopping in the room one day and sat right next to me. Immediately, she began talking to me like she´d known me for years. I adored her from that moment on. She would come to lunch right from the exercise program they also hosted at the JCC, still riding on an...

I was a student of Dr Honig at Syracuse University from 1977-8 to my graduation in 1980. I was a Child & Families Study major and had several classes with her. I also worked as a work study student in her wonderful library making file cards and filing all of her wonderful reading materials. She touched my life in such a way that I will never forget her. My life´s work was with children and families which she helped to develop. She rests in my heart forever and my condolences to the family....

I first met Alice Honig, in person, in the late-1990´s. Shortly before this encounter, I had received an unexpected phone call from my editor. "Are you sitting down? If not, then go find a chair right now." I had no idea where my editor was headed with this request. "OK now, I´m going to read a letter to you that we received today from Dr. Alice Honig in response to a request, asking her to review your upcoming book." Dr. Honig´s letter was the requested review, and she had wonderful things...
