Please accept my condolences on the death of this lovely woman. I have so many fond memories of Mrs. Goldstein while growing up on Third Avenue in Kingston, PA. Indeed, I can still hear the voices of Bessie G. and Bessie E. as they sat on their porches on summer evenings and talked across the driveway. One particular memory stands out: on a particular summer evening, my sister Ann Mitchell and I invited Mindy to go out for ice cream. Mrs. Goldstein wasn't sure if Mindy should go. I said, "Oh, come on, Mrs. Goldstein. Be a sport!" She shouted to Bessie E.: "Bessie, did you hear that? Elizabeth wants me to be a sport!" It was hilarious! I can still hear her voice saying those words. She added much to my childhood memories, in a very lovely way. She was a blessing.
