May her memory be for a blessing. The Hersh siblings were close friends of my sister and me. I always tried to contact Barbara and Max on trips to Worcester because she meant a lot to me. Strange as it seems I always remembered her birthday when August came around.
My deepest condolence to the Rothsteins and Hersh clans.
Sincerely,
Gloria Resnick

I will miss her. She was always good to me. We shared laughs a number of times when I was a teenager and she ended up talking to my boyfriends who called for Barbara Rothstein, as we shared that name. Love and understanding to Cousin Andy, Uncle Max and others. Love, Barbara Elaine Rothstein and her husband Butch Myers of FL and VT
