Thank you SOOOOO much for your very meaningful words. It’s gratifying to “know” someone who has made her life so meaningful and special and helpful to others.

I really like your idea of walking into an at-risk school; I’d like to do that as well. What was your procedure and do you have any tips on dealing with the students?

I am glad you shared about your crying spell. I’m not much of a cryer, but there were some tears…ran for a tehillim to make it more meaningful. How are you then differentiating between mourning her loss and sadness? Perhaps we are actually talking about the same thing!

and by the way, she was more than a friend, I sat shiva briefly for her, as I was trying to say here http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/missing-a-loved-one#post-306463

I was actually wondering why we don’t say Yizkor on R”H as we do on the other yomim tovim. At first I used to ask why we DO say yizkor in that it would make me so sad to remember the loss on the holidays when we are supposed to be joyous…

Thank you for your kind wishes and for being who you are.

I was actually thinking of making labels in their honor and donating seforim. Did you create labels on the computer or did you give it in to a printer? What do you write on it other than their name?
