Dear Mr. and Mrs. Morgenstern,Reading about your daughter Nancy was an electrifying experience. I never met her, but Chaim, who is a friend of mine from Yeshiva, gave me a copy of the book when I came to pay a shiva call at your house. Stories of gedolim and tzadikim have often inspired me to try to improve myself and become more like them; reading about Nancy had the same effect. I felt as though I were meeting her in person - she practically jumped off the pages of the book. There was no ambiguity or complexity in† her life - it was all joy, faith and passion. Particularly striking†was the letter which ended, You raised a happy daughter. What more could a parent desire?I was also moved by the introduction: "If you were feeling down for whatever reason she would laugh and explain how silly or ridiculous you were... Read more
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Morgenstern,Reading about your daughter Nancy was an electrifying experience. I never met her, but Chaim, who is a friend of mine from Yeshiva, gave me a copy of the book when I came to pay a shiva call at your house. Stories of gedolim and tzadikim have often inspired me to try to improve myself and become more like them; reading about Nancy had the same effect. I felt as though I were meeting her in person - she practically jumped off the pages of the book. There was no ambiguity or complexity in† her life - it was all joy, faith and passion. Particularly striking†was the letter which ended, You raised a happy daughter. What more could a parent desire?I was also moved by the introduction: "If you were feeling down for whatever reason she would laugh and explain how silly or ridiculous you were for feeling or behaving the way you did. Before long you found yourself laughing with her with your optimism and happines† restored." The Gemara speaks of two people who were b'nei olam haba because they made it their business to lift the spirits of†others. Nancy then would seem to be a true bas olam haba.† If I can be inspired by her example to make even a small positive change it will be a great z'chus for her n'shama as well as a great accomplishment for myself. This book is perhaps in a sense the greatest memorial to her because through it she can†have the most direct continuing effect on people's lives. Thank you for giving me the opprotunity to know her.Sincerely yoursElazar Grossman"... Collapse
