Not sure what to say?

My Bubbie was one of the most energetic people I've ever known. She was always so full of life when she was around other people. She was a great teacher, and had the best memory of anybody. She always remembered everything I did, and she would always ask me how my life was. She was thoughtful, loving, kind, generous, and she will always be in my heart.

Bubbie always made sure I received a gift as a reminder of her love for me. I will always remember playing around her home, climbing trees, throwing the baseball with Zadie, and being spoiled with yummy sweets, like rugelach. I love you Bubbie and will miss you.

Dearest Edith, I miss you dearly. You were a very special woman, mother, and Bubbie. You lived a rich life of hospitality, good works, and investment into others. Moreover, I never doubted your devotion and love for me and your grandchildren. I thank you for giving me a most precious gift, the fruit of your labor...your dear son, Stuart, and my sister-in-law, AnnLouise. The world is better because you were here, and you will be missed dearly. Rest in peace. Love, Sandra

Thank you dear friends for your kind and thoughtful expressions of sympathy. Having lost both of our parents in such a short time makes both Stuart and I realize how precious and fleeting life truly is. We are indeed grateful to have had two wonderful and loving parents as role models and friends. They personified all of the most enduring values and cherished ideals of the "greatest generation." My mother was a bigger than life personality who starred in her professional and personal life as...

Stuart, sorry for your loss. I, too, lost my parents recently. Thinking of you.

Dearest Stuart, Sandra, & Eloise, I am keeping your mother, Edith, and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Please accept my sympathy as you grieve the passing of this most spectular woman.
