Dr. Saul Schanberg

Dear Rachel and Family,

Michele and I were deeply saddened to return home from travels on Monday and learn of Saul's passing. We were just in time to get over to the memorial service at the Temple, but did not get to talk with you.

Saul was a great man and lived a wonderful like, blessing so many with his talents and hard work. He is now "resting with his ancestors" as the Torah proclaims. I have to imagine that somehow, Susie has welcomed him home.

We know...

Dear Rachel, Laura, Larry, Katie, Colin, Betty, Ira, et al,

As I said to Laura via email, Saul taught her to live fully and love with abandon, do what she is meant to do, and celebrate all as long as she can. I learned these lessons through my brief exposure to Saul and of course through Laura herself, whose sense of social justice was born of your amazing parenting. My life was changed by all of you and I will hold you all in my heart for as long as I live.

Much...

Rachael,
We were so sorry to hear about Saul. We know it must have been very special to have reached your 50th together. Our thoughts and love are with you and the family. The two of you have helped make Duke a better place and enriched the lives of many. We would be pleased to donate to the Duke Patient Support Program.
With much love,

Shelly and Sandy Weinbaum
