I Had The Privilege Of Occasionally Serving Mrs. Silverstein Dinner, But The Bigger Privilege Was Being Her Friend. It Truly Was A Blessing Getting To Know Her, Talking With Her So Much, And Making Memories Together. Before I Left For School, I Told Her I Was Afraid Of Who Would Be Gone By The Time I Came Back, And Never In A Million Years Did I Think It Would Be Her. I’M Gonna Miss This Sweet Lady So Much. Nobody In The World Could Rock The Purple Lipstick Like She Could.
