Seven months have passed. Sunday, July 17th, the unveiling was held at the Mt. Nebo Kendall Memorial Gardens cemetery. Bernice was there with her sons, Howard and Lynda and Ed and his friend Sherry. Very dear friends of Roby and Bernice, Rita and David also attended. Ellen and Robert and Jeff and Debbie were there. Cantor Rachelle Nelson from Temple Beth Am conducted a very meaningful service. Bernice told me "the service was warm and loving - a wonderful tribute to Bob from our Cantor who knew him for many years and truly loved him. I read a few things and Jeff also." Barry and I wish we could have been there - we both miss him a lot. As in, every Red Sox game we watch...............
He is sorely missed but will always be remembered in his writings, in our memories, and there will be a special section in the Temple Beth Am library dedicated to him along with some of his writings including the Hagaddah he wrote. Eventually, more of his writings will be available on his blog

Yes, the unveiling was a very nice tribute to my father. It makes me so sad to see his name on the gravestone, though...always will.
