I discovered early in our forty-year friendship that Roz could convey much with a few heartfelt words. When I told her that I was starting psychoanalysis, she immediately exclaimed her congratulations, “Mazel tov,” and then held me and quietly said, “Oy veh.”

Roz had had a painful, long wait to begin her own analysis, and her prospective analyst had suggested she start reading Donald Winnicott in the interim. She was forever grateful for all she found in Winnicott's words, and passed along a deep and thoughtful appreciation of his works to countless students and colleagues, and to me. For that, and everything else, “Todah,” thank you.
