Words cannot convey the love, pride and respect I have for my one and only sister, whose bone marrow saved me from death 17 years ago. I only wish I could have done the same for you, Cele. I have sooooo many memories of good times, shared secrets, our scrabble games, Martha and Mary and eating snacks in alphabetical order. No one else could understand the stupid things we did. But we do and that's all that matters. You are my sister and my best friend and I miss you terribly and will...

Steve, Sue, Paul & Rick,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Your Mom was a great lady! She was beautiful, intelligent and charming! She was very supportive and encouraging to me when I was a young girl trying to decide on a career. She always made me feel welcome and at home. I know what it is like to lose a parent and it is not easy. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Take care and God Bless. Love, Kathy

to my sister,my friend. I'll never forget the great times we shared, from Rockaway Beach on the bus to Lake Ronkonkoma, to Fire Island and Jones Beach. The parties, staying at your house overnight with Meg, walking through your backyard forest, going out on my boat, camping and you teaching me to drive when I was 16. Thank you. I'll never forget you. Watch over us and keep us safe. Love Ray
