Obituary
Send FlowersFatherhood on a New Level
Gabriella Silverstein's first day of first grade was Sept. 6. Her father, Craig, knew that it might be tough starting out in a new school, so he took the day off from his job as an equities trader at Sandler O'Neill. When Gabriella emerged from the school building, there he was, a big smile on his face and a bouquet held out in his hand.
Mr. Silverstein adored his wife, Maria, whom he met when she was 13 and he was 14, sending her e-mail messages again and again from the office every day; he always ended by telling her how much he loved her.
But when it came to his children, his devotion reached a whole new level. Pooh Fish was his pet name for Gabriella, who is 5 1/2.. He called her brother Cameron, 4, Handsome Man.
He took them to the park near their home in Wyckoff, N.J., and to the movies. He loved to buy them ice cream and toys.
Recently, Cameron has been spending time looking out of the window "to see if he could see heaven, because then maybe he'd be able to see my husband," Mrs. Silverstein said.
The other day, Gabriella asked if she could send her father a letter. "She wanted to use a rocket," Mrs. Silverstein said, "but I convinced her that a balloon might be a better idea."

Hey,
It's not the number of years that matter. It's the sense of profound loss without you to share with, talk to, take abuse from and to understand. Never had the chance to say so long and to thank you for being such a large part of my life. Miss you. 22-Black my friend.

God Bless you Gabriella, I read your letter to your Dad and it put me to tears thinking of my two kids and picturing what it would be like to hear or see this from them if it happened to me. I live in the "Cuse" where you go to college. I hope all is well, Make your Dad proud and reach all those goals, and live life everyday!

Hey Dad.
It's me, Gab. It's been a while. I'm 17 now, and we've finally caught up to the current century in history class. Well, almost. We're up to the 1990s, and I just read about the 1993 bombing, and I remember mom said you were there, you'd lived through that one.
It's hard. I'm graduating this year, going to Syracuse for Illustration. You should be out here with us, celebrating, not stuck being some number in a textbook or a name carved in stone (even though its...
