================
What has happened? I have five grandchildren 20 year old twin boys to 6, 4 and 11/2 years old.
The sixth is on the way in spring of 2025. I have a slow growing cancer. Although I am
considered being in remission, my chemo doesn’t end until sometime next summer (from June 2023
to 2025). My husband David has Optical / Generalized Myesthenia Gravis and doesn’t drive anymore.
I am the sole driver. We haven’t traveled since before Covid and now are just enjoying staying
local to New England. Considering all these issues, our lives are Blessed. We love our melded
family and all of our grandchildren. Life is so precious!

As of June 28, 2015 I will be Mrs David Goldman. Life
is great. I met David over four years ago and my children and grandsons
love him. David has a wonderful loving son and daughter-in-law Robbie
and Nini (in 2013 he lost a son Danny). We are truly blessed with our
family. ------------------------- Updated 2005: Over the last 40 years my life has been wonderful. I was blessed with a 35 year marriage to a wonderful husband, Charlie, who unfortunately passed away in 2003; we had two terrific daughters, Melissa and Deborah. Both of my daughters are now married, Missy to Marc and Debbie to Jerome. Missy & Marc have blessed me with two handsome Grandsons ~ Maxwell Charles & Mitchell Chris, born on January 17, 2005. Yes, twin boys! Debbie & Jay have given me my little princess Step-granddaughter, Ariana (who is 5). Life is quite a blessing for all of us. I am employed as a HIV/AIDS Case Manager for BAMSI Case Management in Brockton, MA. I have worked for BAMSI for 10 years. My role as a Case Manager is both challenging and rewarding. Would I have seen myself here 40 years ago ... absolutely not. None of us knows what life has in store for us, we just have to make the best of it and live life to the fullest each and every moment. We all control our own destiny.
I want to give a special thank you to the planning
committee of our "36th" reunion. They got me through the roughest and
toughest time of my life, Without them I do not know if I would be where
I am today. They all know who they are, but especially ... Howie Elkin,
Myra Fine Sprince, Ellen Titelbaum Barman, Ellen Wolfson Abelson, Linda
Finer Sherman, Linda Lawrence Kayla, Ronna Lapato Collins, Ellen
Finstein Levine, Myrna (Miller) & Mike Altshuler, Jimmie Keating, Jeff
Kublin, Milton Mahler, Vicki Cooper Mengel, Alan & Ronnie Karlsberg. You
are all my special Angels. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for
being there for me. |
