Mommy, I think of you every day, when I look in the mirror I see you. Im not as beautiful as you were, but I still see you. When I wear your pjs I feel you. When I see your necklace hanging on your necklace holder I miss you. When I see your beautiful picture of you in your yellow sweater , hanging on my refrigerator my heart skips a beat. When I think of how you suffered those last horrific 7 months I shudder. How did you ever have the strength to pull it off? My Ever so strong mommy. I miss your smile, your laugh, your humor, your puzzle making, your crossword puzzles, your mahjong Fridays. Your singing, dancing monkey. You know I want ya . I miss you telling dad to stand straight. I miss you telling me to turn around. I miss laying in your bed with you and watching old movies (even tho I dont like old movies). I still feel you are here. Although I cant call you on the phone anymore, I can keep you in my heart. Till we meet again.

Mr. Rosenthal, I was so sorry to hear of Barbara's passing. I remember meeting you both for the first time years ago in Marc's office and soon realized that the two of you would be among my favorite people to work with. The love between the two of you was evident for all to see and you truly were her superman.
