Hi Harvey and Judy. I look at the blog sometimes - just to see Shelly - and tonight when I looked I saw your note about "Wicked" on YouTube. I started to listen again - and couldn't listen all the way through. Really it was hard - and very touching. Much love to all of you. Alice
Dearest Shelly, I tried to send you a note earlier today and couldn't send it, I think I was being punished for not writing to you sooner. I wanted to tell you what a touching and heartwarming experience we all had when we met at "your spot" to unveil the marker on Sat May 22nd. Actually it was just a month ago today. Besides mom and dad, ellen and debbie michael and the boys were there as well as elliot and alissa, and sally and I.Therewere a lot of tears shed, until Benjamin asked his dad in a loud voice..."what happened to tante's money?" Well that did it for all of us. Like you Shelly sweetheart, we will never forget that moment or you. At our home there's three pictures of you in our main living area where we eat and watch T.V.and 2 more photos of you up in our bedroom so we see and think of you everyday, and always will. Just wanted you to know all of this . Love as always Unk E.
Shelly, I was at or Temple last night for the induction of new officiers to the board and was asked to read a passage during the ceremony along with other past presidents. I am ashamed that I do not go more often and was introduced to a new prayer book for the service that I had not seen before. Anyway there was a Kaddish for those no longer here and the congregation is asked to speak out names of those to be remembered, as the Rabbi glances slowly at different areas of the congrgation. When he looked toward us, your aunt Sally spoke right up loudly saying..."Shelly Beth Waxman" and since I was looking at our new prayer book I was stunned a little, for while she said your name I was reading this prayer which I shall type here...it sounded like thoughts you would have had...."When I die give what's left of me away,and if you need to cry,cry for your brother walking in the street beside you. And when you need me, put your arms around anyone and give them what you need to give to me. I want to leave you something, something better than words or sounds. Look for me in the people I've known and loved, and if you cannot give me away, at least let me live in your eyes and not in your mind.You can love me best by letting hands touch hands, and by letting go of children that need to be free. Love does not die, people do. So when all that's left of me is love, give me away. So that is the prayer I read dearest Shelly and I think it is what you are saying to me and will try to follow your advice. I love you sweet Shelly and always will UNK E
