I hope it was not too harsh.<br /><br />I find it strange to suddenly stop praying for my friend and I find it frustrating that the there is nothing more that I can ask from God. The irony is that, just a few days ago, my daughter expressed that exact emotion when a young boy, for whom she had been praying, died of cancer. Now I understand what she was feeling....<br /><br /><br />Janine -- are you also a cancer patient? how did you find my blog? feel free to email me at: coffeeandchemo@gmail.comRivkA with a capital Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09411034058195730044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782551808324372235.post-79811075966463593012010-05-20T07:36:06.099+03:002010-05-20T07:36:06.099+03:00I did not know her, but she was a friend of a frie...I did not know her, but she was a friend of a friend and I had heard about her passing and what a special person she was.

We remained "pen pals" from that time on. We mostly "talked" via email since I live in the US, but I had the joy of talking with Taube a few times by phone and the honor of meeting her in Philadelphia last May when she was in the States for treatment.<br /><br />She was just as you described her -- kind, gentle, insightful, honest, spiritual. <br /><br />I will miss her deeply.<br /><br />JanineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782551808324372235.post-18089473619350664382010-05-16T20:35:24.039+03:002010-05-16T20:35:24.039+03:00baruch dayan emet. she is a good friends sister in...baruch dayan emet. she is a good friends sister in law, i prayed for her just a few hours ago, i hadnt heard the news until i read this. yehi zichra baruch. may hashem give her family and friends strength.faith/emunanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782551808324372235.post-36142903257081122022010-05-16T16:08:57.368+03:002010-05-16T16:08:57.368+03:00HaMakom y'nachem...

She made it her mission to ensure that all the patients were transported to and from the hospital in the safest was possible. She devoted her life to raising awareness about travel safety. I remember spending a long time on the phone with her when we were about to leave the hospital, ensuring that all of our children were properly restrained in the ambulance. She had a smile and a kind word for everyone and made you feel like she really cared about you. <br /><br />I'm sure Taube's in a very good place now but the world will definitely feel her absence. Her ma'asim tovim should be a meilitz yosher for her and her family and friends should have a nechama. <br /><br />More hugs, RivkA.

It really comforted me to connect with her and be there to support her, even from afar.<br /><br />Ricki's Mom -- I wish I could cry more.
