Condolences

The story of Joy and my husband goes back 53 years. She was a friend to my husband, my mother in law was the baby sitter for her two children, and I, coming into the family, was her friend. She was a delight. May she rest in piece

Joy will remain the strongest, sweetest, most thoughtful and loving role model in my memory. She made many Sunday morning breakfasts for Michele and me before Sunday School at TofL. She never k'vetched about anything! I feel fortunate to have been a part of the Rosenthals. Sending big hugs to Eli and Diane and Michele. May her Memory be a Blessing. Always

To the Rosenthal family with sympathy for another family loss, Joy was always a pleasure to talk to when I worked at Murray Avenue Kosher and saw her and Elie in the store or around Squirrel Hill when they were here visiting. May she rest in comfort with \"The Boys\". My best wishes to the entire Rosenthal family. May they have only good stories to share.

May Myrna’s Memory be Eternal. During this time of sadness, we are praying for God’s abundance of mercy and love for you all. Your family is the strongest and most loving family and we feel grateful to call you our friend's. We love you and pray for strength.

The Rosenthals were my next door neighbors growing up. The friendship,love and memories will always be cherished. Joy was a wonderful wife and mother. I always visited them, we all had open doors in Stanton Heights… My parents and ,Joy and Eli always had fun. We always had fun all the kids. May she rip with my boyfriends in peace. Love Ivy Coffey

Sincere sympathies to the Rosenthal family. Joy was the perfect name for her. She was a Joy. I’m glad she was our neighbor.
