Tonight as I lit the yartzeit candle the weight of 15 years without you, Mom, weighed me down. 15 years is a long time. You are missed and you are remembered so vividly. Your righteous indignation at the state of the world and what your daughters have endured would fuel you. And your pride would radiate for the world to see. Your granddaughter would delight you beyond your wildest imagination. You would be so proud of dad.
I miss you.
Rabbi Eleanor Steinman 
Sending so much love, dearest Ellie. Even for those of us who never met your mom, we can feel her in your generosity, loving and caring ways, and as we see your sense of family love and abiding friendship. May her memory forever bless you!
