Dear Brother,
I know you would rather be with your family today on Memorial
Day Weekend and eat all the goodies off the grill, but GOD had other plans for you. He said you have suffered enough Sheldon,I
Will free you of all your pain and suffering in and out of hospitals.
We miss you more than you would realize. We saw Esther, Marsha, a Larry and Harriet today. They are all fine. Esther is 93 now and has a few problems, but she is not in pain. They all asked for you and send kisses and hugs. I know it was your Anniversary this week. Tanya I am sure is sad. You almost made 50 years. Mine withJerry would have been 61 years this week.
Keep praying over us. The boys are trying hard to adjust. You were the rock of your family. Things are so different now that you
Are gone to your resting place.
I will write again. I miss those, Hello There's when you called me.
I love you eternally,
Your sister Beverly. ( Shayna) Bashie

Good morning Brother,
It is a beautiful Day here in Rhode Island. I am reminiscing about the days here and in Narragansett where we spent our summers.
You had so much fun playing miniature golf and bringing home a trophy every night. You were a good boy and never got in trouble. You were very smart and loved by everyone. We were sad when you moved to California, but that is where you met your beautiful wife and had your 2 beautiful sons Jeff and then Steven.
You then prospered and became a big business man and then traveled the world. We spent many good times together. I appreciate all you did for me in my hard times and sharing my good times with me. We traveled together with you and Tanya and always enjoyed each other. I always looked forward to you coming to Florida to spend New Years with me and Ray and my friends.
My friends became your friends and enjoyed your company too.
The last time was hard for you, but you never complained and until the very end you called me just 3 hours before you closed your eyes and God took you and all your pain away. It is almost 1 year and it has been a difficult one for me. You are and always will be in my heart and thoughts with only good memories.
Rest in peace my beloved brother. I speak for our brother Marvin
Also. He also misses you and loved you as his baby brother.
Love, your devoted sister,
Beverly

Hello Brother,
I know you can hear me. Pray over our families this New Year. You always kept us close, even though we lived 3,000 miles apart. You never forgot my birthday. You even waited for me to have my big one and as sick as you were you sent me beautiful flowers to the restaurant. I will miss you in Delray this winter, but you will be there in spirit, I know. I will miss you until the day that we will be in heaven together. I love you eternally.
Your loving sister, Bev

Hi Brother,
Marvin hurt his nose. He walked into a door and his nose is swollen. He will take an xray on Friday.
I hope you don't mind that I asked Jeff and Steve for the violin
Back. You never used it or hung it up. I think Daddy would be happy if Ben played it.
Good night my brother. Have a peaceful rest.
Love, Sis

Good morning Brother,
Marvin and I are respecting your wishes. You made us promise to stay close. We go to Temple every Friday for lunch and Temple on Saturday morning for Kaddish. We stay for a beautiful Kiddush.
We hope you are having a peaceful rest. Everyone is well here and the boys are taking good care of Tanya. You have no more worries. We all love you and miss you. Love, your sister Beverly

Dear Brother;

My thoughts are with you every single day. Naturally I miss you so much. I miss our walks on Rodeo Drive after having dinner. You are a part of my heart. Bev writes you such beautifull letters and is good at that. Even though I cannot express my feelings like Bev writes to you my feelings are the same as hers. When I get back to California I will get together with Jeffrey and Steven and keep close to them. Rest in peace. I love you deeply. Marvin

August 12, 2013

Dear Brother;

You are in my thoughts and heart every day. I miss you very much. Even though I do not express my feelings enough I feel the exact way as Bev does. She has all the right words. Yes we will all be together one day. I miss your great humor. You could always make me laugh. I miss walking on Rodeo drive with you after our dinners. You are part of my heart now, my dear brother. I know you are watching over us. I wish you a happy New Year. Rest in peace. You are not alone. I love you. Marvin

August 12, 2013

Good night Brother,
I wish heaven had a phone so I could hear your voice again.
I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought of you yesterday and the days before too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture frame. Your memory is a keepsake for which I'll never part.
God has you in his arms and I have you in my heart.
Rest in Peace my Brother
Sis

My dearest brother,
We missed you today and we had a moment of silence in your memory. Also showed your pictures on a board. I never knew you were a coast guard. You did such wonderful things. You will always be in my heart. I still can't believe you are gone from us, but I promise we will be together someday. In the meantime watch over us and pray that we all be well. Your loving sister Beverly.

We mourn you every day and words can't explain
How much we miss you. It is almost a month you
Went to heaven and G-d freed you of pain. We are
Happy you are at peace and no more pain. You were so brave and never complained. You were a
Trouper. Someday we will be together. Love you
Your devoted Sister Beverly and Brother-in- law Ray.

Good morning Brother. I want to hear your voice and you saying
HELLO THERE to me on the other end of the phone. You were so brave and never let us know how sick you were even a few hours before you took your last breath. Marvin and I miss you so much, and we are respecting your wishes by seeing each other and going to Temple every Saturday morning together. I will be sad when he goes back to Cal. Rest in Peace my wonderful caring
Brother. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the
Wonderful things you did for me.
Love, your sister

Dear Brother

My heart is breaking. I miss you very much. We have always been close and loved each other so much. Remember giving me bear hugs and lifting me up when we would meet at your condo before having dinner. I looked forward to it. You had grown so strong like Daddy. We always had such laughs and good times when we went out to dinner. At times we would mentor one another. I remember the good times we had growing up in a very close family. We had such good times looking forward to going to Narragansett Pier every summer. You were always upbeat with me although you were ill. I believe you did not want to worry me. You always made me proud from being a great husband, father and gramdfather to being a great businessman and becoming a CPA like me. One day we will all be together again God willing. I will be close to Jeffrey and Steven and represent you. I will always love you
and you will always be in my heart. Although i feel so sad now i know that your pains are gone and you are resting in peace. Love, Marvin

To Jeffrey, I was so sorry to read about the loss of your father. Though I didn't know him, I feel I know him through you and your wonderful family. All he was shines in you, Michele, and your children. I know he was everything that a father, brother, husband, and grandfather could be. My heart goes out to all of you. Love always , Jen your piano teacher.

My deepest sympathy to Tanya and the Abrams family. I cherish the memory of four years as fraternity brothers at URI and summers working at Banner Lodge. We even spent time together when Shelly was on leave from the Coast Guard and I was at Fort Dix for basic training.

I am saddened to hear of your loss. Words seem inadequate to express the sadness I feel about Sheldon. I have so many happy memories while I was at PDC.
Please accept my most heartfelt sympathies. My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

To my wonderful handsome brother. You will always be beside me wherever I go. You will always be in my heart and I will never forget the cruise you and Tanya took me on. Also the trip to Maine and your visits to me in Delray Beach every year to celebrate
New years. And the time you and Marvin flew together for a Schwartz Reunion. We will miss you terribly, but we are relieved that you have no more pain. Love, your sister Beverly Abrams Paris
