GABRIELLE ROSENWASSER

dearest evelyn,
I remember your mom quite well, she was a beautiful and accomplished woman. My sympathies. Rochelle Markowitz

In 2007 I came back to Pittsburgh for my 40th high school reunion. After a luncheon given by Sally Broff, I ran into Madame Rosenwasser, my former French teacher, in the elevator. She recognized me immediately and called me by my designated "French name," Juliette. I was amazed at her memory! What a lovely woman she was. How I enjoyed her class! -Vera Kemper Orthlieb, class of 1967 TAHS

A sad day, for her family and her extended family of students. 13 yrs of formal french education, 10 in Pittsburgh, and a tribute to Gaby....I will cry tonight thinking of her.

Dear Evelyn:
My deepest sympathies to you. Your mother was a wonderful French teacher (my student teacher, at the time, was Roxane Stewart Gaal)at Taylor Allderdice. I graduated in 1968. My fondest memory of her, is when she sang "La Vie en Rose" for us, in class. She had such a lovely voice, as well. I tried to reach her, a few years ago, with no success. I simply wanted to let her know how much I admired her, as a teacher. Warmest wishes to you.

(I believe that you might have been in "A" choir with me (Virginia Lewis), or another class, or "Music Man".

Mrs. Rosenwasser taught me French 5. Thanks to her when I finally got to France I could speak French. (Even if I never had occasion to speak with a hairpin salesman in Belgium - a sentence we memorized for French class.)

Dear Marc and Evelyn,
Grandma Gabby was one of the nicest people we've had the pleasure of meeting. She was always kind to Michelle and I, and always had the nicest things to say about our 2 boys. We loved seeing her at all of the family events, and were happy to consider her a part of our extended family. She will be missed greatly. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Marc:

My sincere condolences to you and your family.

David Wecht

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Madame Rosenwasser was my teacher at Allderdice in the 1970's. She encouraged and deepened my passion for French. I'm glad to remember that I did her teaching justice (800 on the ACT), and am sorry I never knowingly saw her since, though our paths might have crossed at Temple Sinai. She touched innumerable lives and clearly lived life to the fullest. I wish all of her family and loved ones comfort now and in the days ahead.

Dear Evelyn and Billy, I was very sad to read about Gabby. She was a great lady and a good teacher. I just wrote to my friend who sat beside me in her class. Gabby even knew my mom. I trust that you have a lot of treasured memories of years with her to help you move forward. My thoughts are with you. Cindy Wilder Melamed

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved mother. Mrs. Rosenwasser was both my Spanish and French teacher many many years ago, at Taylor Allderdice. I remember her fondly, as a very fine and caring teacher. Her classes were among the few that I ever looked forward to. She had a great sense of humor and seemed always optimistic and encouraging.

Dear Mac & Donna,
My sincere Sympathy to both of you. Gabby was a great lady and I enjoyed my times spent with her. It was a pleasure to know her.

Dear Evelyn and Family,
So sorry to read of the passing of your Mother.. My sympathy and thoughts are with you at this very sad time.

I was so sorry to hear about Gaby's passing. I enjoyed playing bridge and talking to her. She was a charming, smart and grand lady.

Evelyn: Please accept my condolences on the passing of your beloved mother. May her memory be a blessing to you and all whose lives she has touched.

Mrs. Rosenwasser was my French teacher at TAHS. She instilled a love for the language that I carry to this day. She was a warm and kind person, and I have only good memories of her. My deepest sympathies on her passing.

Mrs rRoenwasser was my French teacher in 1974 at Allderdice. I re-introduced myself to her when I saw her at our shul Temple Sinai. She was a tough teacher back then but a very sweet woman now.

Dear Marc,

I was sad to learn of your mother's passing. She always was kind and gracious to me. Please accept my sympathies to you and your family.

Sincerely

Marc and Linda Simon

Gabby was a very precious individual who was respected as a fellow teacher at Allderdice, and a very special person. My deepest sympathy to her family. I share your sorrow as I remember the times spent in the teacher's lounge with all of us carrying on and laughing together with Gabby.

Dear Marc: C'est un grande perte. Please accept my condolences. - Jeff Pollock, Esq., Sq. Hill

Marc and Donna We are sorry for your loss.
