Dr. Ronald D. Shocket

Barbara,



I have been out of town and just learned of Ron's death. You and your family have the deepest sympathy of Nadine and I. Ron was a kind, gentle man and a such a wonderful person. He will be deeply missed by so many.

Barbara,

I am so sorry to hear this news.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

With Love,

With deepest sympathy.



Please know that you are not alone in this time of sadness. You are in our thoughts.

This poem reminds me of the quiet gentle way Ronald had, and the beauty he found in life around him.



"Do not come when I am dead

To sit beside a low green mound,

or bring the first gay daffodils,

because I love them so,

for I shall not be there.

You cannot find me there.

Where will I be?

I will be reflected from the bright eyes of little children;

in the flames of Shabbat candles at the family simcha.

I will warm you hands through the glow of the winter fire;

I will soothe you with the drop of the rain on the roof;

I will speak to you out of the wisdom of the sages;

and make your heart leap with the rhythm of a hora;

I will flood your soul with the flaming radiance of the sunrise,

and bring you peace in the tender rose and gold of the after-sunset,

all these have made me happy.

They are a part of me;

I shall become a part of them."

My thoughts are with you and your family. I stll remember Dr. Shocket fixing my broken front teeth as a teenager. Please tell David I still think of those times at the Westwood Club. David Miller
