NORMA STERNBERG

Dr.sternberg saved my life back in 1984. I had luekimea I was only16.im so grateful to her.she is in God's hands

Every single day of my life I owe to her. She never let me down, even when there was no hope. She fought for me like a warrior. Giving up was not an option. Sometimes I feel there was something inside this woman that was far more than love. She would challenge the Gods to save her patients. I was diagnosed with AML in 1978 when I was 10 and the diagnosis was like a death sentence. No chance of transplant and, after a long fight, the only remaining possible path was to undergo trial treatments. We did it. She was like a giant. Never accepted to lose without going beyond all limits. When I got married, Dr. Wollner and Dr Wachtell flew to Brazil. They were our maid of honor and best man. I can´t describe my emotion. Years later, she met my two kids, two healthy 19 and 15 years old young men. I don´t know why I write so many personal memories here. I feel I need to express my gratitude and my respect for this extraordinary human being. May my life today and ever honor every minute she fought for me. Dear, "Dra. Norma", I´ll remember you ever and ever till the very end. Love you so much. Rest In Peace.

I recently acquired Dr. Sternberg's stamp collection through auction. Seeing her name on certain correspondence piqued my interest as I noticed she worked at Sloan Kettering. What an interesting woman. I also now I understand why a large part of her collection was devoted to Brazil. Tim Beno, Alexandria , LA 8/11/21

She was a great person she saved my life. I was only 16 im 54 now. She is truly one of gods angels

I was a patient of Dr. Wollner's at MSKCC in the mid-70's. She was compassionate yet firm and helped my family and me through a scary and uncertain time. She will always be a special person in our lives. My condolences to her family.

Even late my wishes for that woman(angel) is from my heart and I will never stop have her in my mind!I wish good paradise for her and also world needs persons like her.

What a beautifully written story about Dr. Sternberg. Pediatrics is not an easy specialty, but so fulfilling as a professional. Our deepest condolences to our dear friend Sue and her family. Sending much love and hard hugs.

Another great woman who gave so much to her profession has passed, our prayers go out to Dr. Sternberg and my friend Sue.

With deepest sympathy to my dear, dear friend, Sue and the entire family. What a beautiful life she led. What an honor to have her in your lives as long as you did.

Such an amazing life and legacy. My condolences to Sue, Dr. Sternerg and the entire family

Dear Dr. Wollner,
You accepted by brother as patient when, at 16, was given no more than 6 months to live. You engaged him and supported him during a harsh one year chemotherapy protocol and amputation.
Today, he is a dental surgeon, a husband of an orthodentist and a father of two. He just turned 54.
May our gratitude reaches you and Your Light shines forever.

Our deepest sympathy to Dr. Sternberg and also to our friend Sue.

So very sorry for your loss. Condolences to you Sue and your family.

I worked with Dr. Wollner I the 1960s, when we both knew Dr. Lois Murphy. I admired Dr. Wollner greatly for her compassion and determination in her care of very sick children. So sorry for your loss.

Dr. Wollner has never left my heart since the moment I met her in 1984 when my daughter was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. Her compassion and kindness made the nightmare bearable. This year my daughter will celebrate her 40th birthday. She followed Dr. Wollner's footsteps and is a pediatrician as well, and the proud mother of two little boys. None of that would have been possible without Dr. Wollner. I ache for the loss of such a wonderful spirit and my thoughts are with her family. She will continue to live in my heart forever.

I also wish to add my condolences to the entire Sternberg family, but especially to Allie and her father.
