She was a best-selling children's book writer and also the author of a memoir, but in recent weeks became best known for the poignant New York Timescolumn she wrote about her husband and their life together.
The piece, which was written on Valentine's Day from her deathbed, served as an endorsement of her husband to the new love she hoped he would someday find. It was one of the most wrenching Modern Love essay ever published and quickly brought the internet to tears.
Jason, who quickly become the object of a lot of attention, told Peoplethat he didn't know what she was writing. Not surprisingly, the final work had quite an impact on him: "When I read her words for the first time, I was shocked at the beauty, slightly surprised at the incredible prose given her condition and, of course, emotionally ripped apart.”
Krouse Rosenthal leaves behind a legion of fans -- new and old -- many of whom have taken to social media to share memories of her.
