Melanie Carol Grossman M.D.

I was a patient of Melanie's some years ago. The time I spent in her company has stayed with me for years. I just learned of her passing and my heart is filled with grief. She was a beautiful woman.

I met Melanie through a mutual friend and she became a customer of mine, and a friend. She never, ever, failed to try to help me with my business and was always happy to share her thoughts and ideas with me. She was an amazing person and I will really miss her.

Melanie and I spent lots of hours together at Princeton as I typed up her senior thesis, on paper with a typewriter.

That began a friendship that followed up to NY where I was a grad student at Columbia and we found time to talk about boys, clothes and our work. Mel could see to the heart of a dilemma and a person, remind you of your priorities and strengths and all that was good in the world. She ...

Dear David and Family:

Sincerely,
