October 31, 2025 Hi My Honey. Today is Halloween. The Eve of All Saints Day and the Eve of your Anniversary. And being that it is Halloween, I have to recognize it is the day each year my mom loved the most. Why, because she loved the kids, she loved to laugh with them, she loved to see their costumes, she loved to have them do tricks for her...she laughed throughout the day. It is also the day of my Mother´s Death. I´m sure she is laughing in Heaven. My first trick or treater today...

Miss you every day my little Feesh. Thank you and George for giving us Masha and Anya. They are so loved and loving. They both love family. I think of how much you went through and how much time we spent together and how you endured with sometimes laughter and jokes while in pain. Wonder often if you put in a good word for me in my journey of healing. I´m so grateful and have an inner peace I´ve never had before. I miss my sister terribly and it´s painful but you did so much for the...

It has been another cool and overcast and perhaps even drizzly day, YCHHY. It has not been the nicest Spring.

Masha came home last night after spending about a week with Al and his family. First for a there was a cousin’s wedding, a two day fancy affair in Manhattan. And then in mid week Al graduated from Seton Hall Law School. The Family party will be in June in Huntington. Exciting time for Masha. On the disappointing side, she has not found a good fit...

May 11, 2025 Dearest Diane, HAPPY MOTHER´S DAY!!! Masha and Anya are both not home this weekend, Anya in LA for the year and every few weeks Masha goes to NJ to be with AL.

Basically, meaning the beauty of the Nature. She has been to a number of State and National Parks including last weekend. This one will be...

Diane, I still think of you fondly and remember working with you at Southwoods like it was yesterday even though I left in 2001. This past week I found the farewell card you gave me. It made me smile. Miss you. XOXO- Angela Walsh-Jecklin

Oh Honey, Our Baby Anya is moving to California tomorrow morning. She has been trying to get a Hardship Exemption in order to stay in NYC Office, but it didn’t happen. She will continue to work for it so her stay in Calif might be less than 5 years, but who knows. It was just a couple of weeks ago that she was crying not wanting to go, but now she feels happiness and excitement in addition to not wanting to leave the East Coast. Please join us in helping her to...
