Sharon Hill - 11 days ago

My sincerely sympathy to the Shapiro and Golfman families. Bob (known then as Bobby) and Rhona were both in my early life. The Shapiro boys shared a duplex with me on Fulton and it was an adventure living downstairs from them. I pushed Michael's carriage, had Harvey drop a brick on my thumb and screamed for his mother when Bob caught his hand in the washing machine ringer. I was sad when the moved away to their new home a few blocks away. Years later I went to Camp Walden and Rhona was my bunk mate. She was so kind to me, gave me fashion tips, cut my hair and showed me how to make proper hospital corners on the bed. I thought someday she would make someone a great wife. Right after Rhona and Bob were married, I ran into them walking down Queen Mary Road and they were holding hands, I thought what a perfect match, I was so right. I am happy to know what a wonderful life they had together, I know she will be missed by all that knew her.
