Seven years past her death, and even more since the world lost your Dad, I have no doubt that you all think of her, and them, almost daily. I know that they most certainly come to my mind frequently. How I do miss these cherished elders of ours. All best to you all.

Dear Jon, Dean, Marcie, Lisa & Mary Ellen,

Over the years, I've made a habit of checking in, from time to time, with some of the cherished elders of my past. Your parents have always been on my "list." I was greatly saddened to hear of the loss of your dad, a few years back - he was an"mensche" of the first order - and still communicated with your mom, from time to time. (Almost to the end, she had the most fabulous handwriting! Put the rest of us to shame.) I last visited them in...

Lisa and family,
So sorry for your loss. It's hard to lose a mom. Especially such a special one. God bless!

Mary Ellen, prayers for you and your family. Your parents were quality people. May they rest in peace.

Jon,
So sorry for your loss. May she rest in peace.

I worked for Harold at SSG. When he passed, I wrote a note to your mom saying the world would be a much better place if it had more Harold Rosses. She wrote me a lovely note back (which I still have filed in February when he died). You were truly blessed to have such wonderful parents!
