Mommy,
I love you so much. Time is funky. It only reminds me of how much more I miss you. You are in my heart and unfortunately, the day you died, a large part of me died with you that day as well. I miss us. There are NO words...
I love you infinity

MOMMY
it's been forever since I've written to you in your official book. Obviously you know, now it's at a whole new level cause we now talk. I hear you... Every time. And I never thought I would seriously hear you, but I do. Ever since I went to the medium and spoke with you, I've completely opened up my energies and channels. Yes, I know I'm too hard on myself... In other news...
Cried the past couple of days here and there. They aren't insane outta my mind lose it fits, but something or someone will remind me of you and tears well up. I physically miss you mommy soooooo much. It will never be any easier. There are far too many beautiful things on this planet that simply make me long for you even more. An elderly mans smile, a tulip, dust in the wind, OPI's new fall nail polish line (soooo hot), and everything beautiful that makes this world spin. I will continue to evolve, just wish you were here with me to run free like untamed horses through an open and endless flower garden.
All my love to infinity and back,
your soul your love your spirit and most importantly, your daughter Corey.

Hi Corey, I have been thinking of your mom lately(I lost all of my contacts), and so, I decided to look on Facebook(since everyone seems to be on there)-to my surprise...I am at a lost for words. I used to massage Marcy on the deck, looking at the beautiful ocean. I've even massaged you once...
Marcy was everything and more that people wrote about her. She was warm and giving...and always happy. I'm glad I had the chance to know her; even massage her.
You will be missed Marcy- love you- Chaka

Hi Corey, I read your touching email today- and your mom would be so amazed at you. You have grown tremendously since her passing (are you still down the shore and helping kids?) Ari told me you had connected in the fall. Thank you for reminding me of mom's yarzeit- I will definitely do something next week- I go to Margate every Wednesday to help with the kids- so maybe Ari and I can do something together with her kids. All the best and hang in there. Fondly, Harriet B.

Hi Everyone,
Its funny, I used to TOTALLY rely upon my mom to tell me when all the Jewish holidays rolled in... like when do i wear a dress? Can i wear jeans? Do i have to go to synagogue? Okay, fine... but when and where and for how long? Is there an intermission, etc... and now that she isn't here to inform me, I've taken it upon myself to call local Rabbis and educate myself on all this stuff that I took for granted having Mommy around. Id bet she is shocked right now that I am even writing this email, so much Jewish Literature on one page... more that I've ever written in my life. Karma - a interesting thing...
Im hoping you will help celebrate "Marcy's Day" this coming Wednesday, the 18th of March. Although her soul passed on to greater places on February 28, 2008 - in the jewish religion and calendar year - her Yahrzeit date is the 22nd of Adar, the 18th of March. In the hebrew language, the word "chai", is spelled by two letters, Het and Yod, and the these letters together add up to the number 18 meaning "LIVING", often related to the term for "LIFE". As you may or may not know the number, 18 (and multiples of) is a very special and mystical number in the Jewish religion and its no shock that my Moms Yahrzeit falls on this day. No shock at all, in fact. (Think of those Bar/Bat Mitzvah checks that always ended in the odd 18, 36, etc).
In the Jewish religion, it is believed that death is not the end. It is the end of a physical body, however, the soul continues on and on - some even believe as far as reincarnation.. *think Marcy Butterfly*. Candles are burned as our way to memorate something, the flame our interpretation of a never ending light, or never ending soul. Of course, open to interpretation, but thats what Ill be thinking as I light her Yahrzeit candle and watch the flame continue to burn. Marcy was a never ending source of light and LIFE, and although she has passed on, her spirit has more light than ever.
According to Jewish tradition and mysticism, our positive actions are inspired by the LIFE of one who has passed on to a more spiritual state of LIFE - we give LIFE and growth to a soul of the next world, as their souls can attain something that they could not achieve on their own. It is through our positive actions, that Marcy can continue to "LIVE", in the ultimate sense of what LIFE is about. So I ask you on Wednesday March 22, 2009 to do a Mitzvah, also known in the jewish religion as any act of random kindness. What Mitzvah you chose to do in honor of Marcy is up to you. Whether you give money to a charity, volunteer your time or buy a homeless person lunch - all acts of kindness help make our LIVE's a better place to LIVE, (and especially on this day, give love and growth to Marcy's soul). Perhaps you recall Marcy and Irwin's "Random Act of Kindness Day" - celebrated for 4 consecutive years on the 4th of July?!
Thank you so much for help spreading Marcy's Sunshine on this memorable and special date. Somewhere over that rainbow, in her purple sequined wings - she is sprinkling fairy dust on each one of us and probably laughing when it gets in our eyes!! :)
Best,
Corey
p.s.. Interestingly enough, my 36th birthday is around the corner - didn't I mention multiples of 18? Nothing in life is a coincidence.

i think about you all-it is still hard to believe but when i read corey's letters to her mother, i know it is real.
if the guest book is helpful to connect to others and/or express your thoughts then you should keep it going. even though we only know you all for a short time, we will always remember our' friendly fun neighbors' in back of our house at the shore .

Corey,
You may not know me, I met you
once. I knew your mom and
she was one wonderful lady.
Never a day without a smile on
her face. I never had a way to
say I'm so sorry to you and
your family. All my love to
everyone

MOMMY
Its been nine months and not even a year
since you left this earth and your deep, deep and scary fear
Pain and problems you taught me are only so very temporary
The answer lies within the solution - and permanent was never part of our dictionary.
but I need you to know that I'm always so very near
Visit me in my dreams or send another sign - for I will know you are here
Should i be happy you are free from all of your pain?
Sometimes I dont know, all I feel is the mark of an achy bloodstain
It honestly hurts, as memories rush through my brain
I try not to be a victim Mommy and really, i try not to complain
Each time i look at EVERY picture, even the ones in the polka dot frame
I do a double take - is that you? is that us? is this what really has became?
I can hear my heart screaming with each beat that it takes
i wish that i had more glue, to fix all of the cracks, aches and all the other breaks
Your voice is always an echo in my ear and a humm in my heart
How dare you take away my favorite and best counterpart?
Sometimes i have no desire to be here without you here too
My emotions run wild, but logic and moral insist that i must breakthrough
Should I be feeling guilty, was there something I didn't do?
Did I not do enough to show all the love I had inside for you?
If you could say three words to me, would they be the one I'd want to hear?
I know that you would take me in your arms, hold me tight and oh, how so dear.
There are a million questions that i have inside and in my mind
Did you think of me just as often and are we still just as intertwined?
I hope I've never left you disappointed, angry or ever let you down,
I only wanted to live to see your smiling face laugh and never ever frown
I want you to be proud of me, in the many months of how far I've come,
From getting out of bed to opening my heart - these are not simple things that I do and have done.
oh Mom, i miss you in ways i cant even put into words or put down or mask on paper
holiday are forever different, happy times are forever changed and everyday simple things float into some sort of vapor
You were a short spiked hair firecracker in this merry go round we call life
I bet now you are a short spiked hair angel in the merry go round called afterlife
You left this planet oh my gd so far too fast
I count each day, every moment since that has passed
Your friends miss you and also have suffered the greatest loss
but i reassure them that you are doing great and wearing the perfect shade of your new lipgloss
Amy, Karsyn, Lucas and I keep you alive in our hearts and head
because we know you are actually just sleeping in our minds and quite far from dead
We all try to be strong for reasons we have no idea why
perhaps its the spirit you have left in all of us, that unchanged forever butterfly.
What kills me most is not knowing where are you right now and are flying high
Did you get that text message i send you on the fateful night you forgot to say goodbye?

To the beautiful Marcy...Corey just told me the news as we reconnected on facebook and I must say I am sitting here crying. You had this amazing spirit and I am so lucky that I was able to meet Corey at camp to be able to grow up around you and the family. Amy was my big sister at camp and Corey was my BFF. Our families had so many laughs together and so much fun. We only remember the good and keep soaring. Love always, Meredith Israel

DEAR MOMMY,
whoa... its been a long time that I havent written to you, but dont think for a minute that you are not on my mind every moment, every heartbeat and with each step i take as I continue to dance in what is called life. You know what I have to say to all the people that say time heals?? SO NOT TRUE. TIme makes it worse... it gives me MORE time to be sad and MORE time to miss you. G-d, if I could try to even put it into words just how badly i want to hold your delicate hands....
So, It looks as though I have blown up almost every photo of you. Ive found SUCH SPECIAL photos of us and basically blew them up postersize.... its amazing to see how calm and happy i am when with you. I can see it in each photo...
You have been in my dreams now for almost 2 weeks consecutively. Its so hard cause I talk outloud in my dreams and I swear you are there... Im not going to lie to you - never did and still never will.. i have good days and bad days... ive started to regress slightly but got a hold of it and sought out the proper support that I need. Its hard packing your stuff, its hard when i have a bad day - because the one and only person that i could go to was you - you got me and understood and had an amazing way of bringing me back down, even amidst a panic attack or anxiety. I miss you so much, mom. Your garden is amazing looking and i take such pride in planting new flowers and keeping your older ones flourishing. You were right... I do have a green thumb, although you really should have mentioned to wear the gardening gloves cause i have so much dirt in my nails its hilarious. I bought you a birdfeeder at the beachhouse and there are SO many birds... I keep thinking you are the red cardinal.... its by far the prettiest. Elmo is doing very well... even at 105 pounds he is my main man (with the exception of my true love... j.w.l). Elmo is so famous at the beach its wild... i cant jog an inch without someone speaking to elmo.... but my g-d! he is sooooo protective..... he is a big muppet but tries to act like Cugo once in awhile...
Im making new friends, keeping busy, missing you like no tomorrow. Its kinda final now - you are not coming back. You wont be at my wedding and you wont be there when i give birth. No, not engaged or pregnant but these are the losses I think about. Dont get me wrong - I was honored to have 34 years with you - but I want more and im sorry. Im selfish and i want you back. You left too soon - didnt you think you just might have wanted to teach me how to cook while here on planet earth?? I still cry, still laugh and the memories I keep I will forever cherish. I miss making you crack up, i miss making you laugh so hard that you peed and i miss taking care of you and i miss you so bad my heart stings. I know you know that this past weekend Moorie joined you (where ever you are flying) and I am happy that you have more company. I told Moorie to look for your purple sequined wings as she was getting bright pink. Now you can be super fairies together.
So, this isnt a huge party here on planet earth if thats where i am. But guess what?? I will prevail and I will come out on top. I know you wouldnt have it anyother way and i will honor you until infinity and then some. I know in my heart of hearts that you are proud of me. I might not hear it, but I know it.
Mom, it doesnt get any easier. I hope that where ever you are - you are happy, pain-free, worry-free with great hair days and makeup days. If by some great chance you are reading this, please, please, put my hand in yours as my glove wont fit unless our hands are entwined. Oh, hello Mr. Tears. No tears mom, just liquid sunshine all over my face.
I really miss you and I am so sorry that you really may not be coming through that door ever again. You know, I always look... In the meantime, Im going to do what I do every day.... I simply start with one foot in front of the other and hope I can keep my balance. Baby steps.
All my love past infinity and then some. No good-byes as you well know, rather - Ill see you around.

MOMMY,
Its been a while since I have written to you on this blog. Sometimes, I dont even think there are words to describe my thoughts, my feelings, my anger, my love, my hope, my everything. Would it make you happy to know that last night i spent the entire night gripping your ashes, swearing to never let go? That I could not basically stand up, holding and cradling your ashes as though you would somehow appear as a jeanie in a bottle? I have been crying SO much lately - mothers day is OUR day and I insist on celebrating with you in my head and heart. You know I made you something each year, and as you know, traditions are traditions so this year I made you a rock for your garden. No, I just didnt paint a random rock, i made a mixture and poured it into a mold, crafted butterflies and its there for you to see. It says, "Spread your wings and soar to new heights, all the while, flying with such colorful grace. Im having a rough time, especially with Mothers day coming. I feel as though I cant accept any of the invites that I have received, Ill totally RUIN their evenings and thats not fair to do to any mothers. So, I have special plans for just you and I so that when i am an emotional wreck, I can close my eyes and feel your arms wrapped so tight around my body, as your hands swipe my forehead, letting me know it will one day be okay. You would be proud of me mommy, i got a great head on my shoulders and have somehow grown up overnight. I will always do right by you and sometimes I am so angry - you do know we should be playing yathzee right now!!! I have pictures of you everywhere and I make sure to talk to you everyday. Your favorite trees have blossomed and I cant help but wish you were here to relish in their beauty. I HAVE GREAT NEWS FOR YOU MOMMY! You have cured my flying phobia. I was recently on an airplane, and guess what?? NO PANIC ATTACK. I knew you were in the clouds with me, to the extent that I videotaped my flight because I knew you were there... in whatever form you were, I knew it. Elmo is doing great. We continue to jog each day and he is such a love. I promise you that I will love, honor and cherish him until the end of the world. MOMMY - mothers day is SCARING me. I have had HORRIBLE anxiety for the past three weeks. Please, lets continue to dance our special dance and as far as Im concerned, everyday should have been mothers day with a mother like you. I will do my best to hold it together, but Im a wreck right now. it feels nice that everyone is calling me and offering support, but I have spend the last two days side by side with your ashes. I guess there are good days and bad days, Mommy - but there is no answer for what I simply cannot understand. SOmetimes, I think about the fact that you wont be at my wedding (no, im not engaged!), or hold my hand as I give birth. These thoughts are sometimes far too hard to handle, so I take it one day at a time and hope I have the strength each day.... no matter what lies ahead of me. Dont worry about me, im eating plenty and am a healthy weight... I feel good about myself, like Ive matured 20 years beyond my 35. Im taking care of everything that needs to be done and trust me, - if you can read between the lines - then rest assure - I HAVE YOUR BACK UNTIL THE DAY I DIE. You are the wind beneath my wings and although I would still give my life for yours, please know that my heart is bursting without you here by my side. Im a mess right now mommy. What i wouldnt do to make you laugh or watch Idol with you. You are my angel, the love of my life and i will always be your biggest fan. If there is anything you need, anything at all, please dont be shy and send me a sign. I will always be your forever loving daughter and i miss you so much that I have to stop typing because I cant see through the tears. I mean, its not like I have windshield wipers on my eyelids.... :)
I love you and I hope you have been catching all the balloons that I have been sending to you... this wasnt supposed to be. I still am on a quest for the "silver lining" but give me time... all that I can tell you is three simple letters.. and I bet you know what they are.... JWL.
I love you. I will write more on mothers day - but dont you forget - every single day i now consider mothers day and its my honor to make each one count.
All my love forever until infinity and then some more infinity... May this day thats rich in memories and meaning be an especially happy one for you... where ever you may be at this moment....
Love, your LOVING DAUGHTER, Corey j

MOMMY
Days pass and I cant help but cherish the notion that there are many people who come in and out of of lives.... a few touch us in many ways that change us forever, making us better from knowing them. You have made SUCH a difference in my life and I am FOREVER grateful for this. I look forward to my path of healing as this is something I work on every moment of each day. I keep your human spirit alive by positive thinking and positive speaking. I slowly move forward to the next chapter of my life because I've got lots of good stuff to anticipate. I limit the "pitty parties" as their negative feelings will only bring negative energy and negativity in general. I picture you all the time and although I am still living a nightmare, I picture a brighter future with you by my side. I miss you so much its insane. Oh, and i was wondering... Did you lose some weight?? Because I found some on my thighs than cant possibly be mine... Do get back to me...
all my love forever and forever and beyond infinity... you are my number one and there aint no changing that... ever.

I miss you. I got so many new great photos of us blown up today. I LOVE how happy we are in each photo... you can see it in both our faces and body language.
Took Karsyn on a nature walk and we talked all about you. She, too, is quite sad but we talk about it often and she is beyond wise for her years. We picked you flowers and as I type, they are on the table. She took so many photos home with her of the two of you... she SO knows how to contact you and she feels you inside of her and all around her. We both shed a tear and it was truly, a magical moment. Yes Mom, Im eating. (I know you were going to ask anyway). Good days and bad days Mom and Ive learned that my solid friends are wonderful and can help get me through dark days and lift me up. Your true friends have been beyond WONDERFUL. You are and were truly blessed with such good peeps. I miss you. People say time will heal - however, time seems to either stand still OR time seems to make this nightmare even more of a reality. Im not quite sure how I feel about time these days. The one thing I do know is that I can certainly tell time, but I just dont know whose side time is on and how much time any of us really have left. So, i guess i better do whatever is in my power to live each day as it could be my last. In fact, I think Ill garden tomorrow....
Beyond infinity is all I can say...my love will have you surfing on the rainbows water in no time... and you look hot in your wet suit...
All my love and love and love and heart and soul FOREVER

Dear Corey and Amy, Please forgive me for waiting so long to contact you- I just found out about this beautiful guest book in Mom's honor and was out of town for her memorial service/shiva. I hope you'll remember me- I was very active in Lifespring with your mom- we assisted in many trainings together and over the years stayed somewhat friendly- then spent time with mom and Irwin, playing golf in Philly as well as down the shore. (Corey, you've done my make-up and we spent some time with you, Amy and the kids on the deck down the shore last summer)- What can I say- I was so sad to hear about mom's untimely passing- she was a free spirit who loved life and had such a zest for experiencing fun and laughter at every turn. She was giving and generous to all and touched so many lives with her charity work and friendship. I can honestly say, there was no one like her and she will be remembered in that way by many of her friends and family. I hope that all your wonderful memories of your extraordinary mom will get you through this dark time in your lives. Thinking of you with deepest sympathy. Harriet (Jeff) Bleiman

Dear Marcy, I didn’t ever meet you, but I wish I had, it would have been my honor. I only know of you through your daughter Corey, and therefore I know you were a great, wonderful and spiritual person, and you will live on in her forever. Corey loves you very much, and I'm sending all the best of wishes to you and your family.

You came to me in my birthday dream and I cant thank you enough. I dont remember everything that you said to me... but I woke up knowing it was going to be okay and that you were happy. I have to have faith that you will return again soon because I didnt have my tape recorder in my dream :). I was straightening up the pillows at the beach house and behind them was a "Happy Birthday" balloon - still half filled with helium. You tell me - how did you get it there?? :)
I am missing you and unfortunately, although there are both good and bad days, it appears it may get harder with each day. My thoughts race around and at the end of the day, I just want you back and there are NO words to describe this torture. I know my love for you and your love for me will carry and guide me through this... gotta have faith. I smile when i think of you and i still see your smiling face at me. I have to look at my tears as liquid sunshine. There is no other way. I love you so much. Stay with me.

MOMMY,
Just for today I will live through the next 12 hours and not tackle my whole life problems at once. Just for today I will improve my mind. I will learn something useful. I will read something with thought and concentration. Just for today, I will be unafraid. Especially will I be unafraid to enjoy what is beautiful and believe that as I give to the world. I will do this everyday, just for today.
I LOVE YOU. This is all a big mistake. You should be here with me NOW - kicking my butt in yahtzee or ping pong. Memories flood so fast, deep and clear as day. Thank gd I have so many.

MOMMY,
So it looks like today is your one month "anniversary" date, although I think that word is highly inappropriate as there is certainly nothing to celebrate. However, I chose to take this day to celebrate you. I took Elmo to your favorites of favorite places then got a pedicure with the rhinestoned flowers... now you are on my feet, taking and guiding the very steps I take. We will always walk together and in sync. Pedicure or not. Brushed Elmo the way you once taught me so I thank you for the tips. I wont lie to you, today was a VERY HARD day for me. My birthday is in 2 days (as you know) and I wish that it wasnt. You made birthdays UNREAL with your craziness and zany ways.... maybe my birthday can just come and go and that way, I wont feel it. Today is a really hard day, mom. Crying a lot and just the thought of you brings tears. Today, is the hardest day. I wish there, rather I need to learn, another word for "anniversary" as I dont feel I can ever use that word, in this instance, appropriately. I love you. My heart stings so badly right now. There are NO words. I guess thats a good thing cause otherwise, Id write a book simply describing what an aching heartbeat stings like. But dont worry about me mom, Ill make it through the rain and promise to make lemonade out of lemons. I know you would insist.

I passed by your shore house to take sum photos of the beach and sat there and just starred out into the ocean like we use to. Never really missed someone as much as I do you. I have your photo on my desk and look at it every day. I wish I could wake up from this dream and see you again. One day we will see each other but for now watch over the ones that love and miss you.

I know you are traveling near brighter colors.... I feel it. I feel you. I wish someone else could really understand what I am feeling. I feel your love. And I know you feel the worlds.... you are so loved and so missed... how blessed i was that you were my mom. You raised me well and I know you are and will be very, very proud of me. Elmo has never left my side, Im thinking about marrying him. I love you and keep smiling and keep shining those rays into my skin... i feel them... deeply.
the tradition will always continue

MOMMY,
The flowers are totally blooming everywhere from the beach to the garden. And as cheesy as this sounds, the trees are all starting to change colors (the leaves). I know I always made fun of you for doing cartwheels over the changing of the leaves, but so you know, I have come to appreciate their simple beauty. You are and were always right. I love that about you. I am SO HAPPY to say that when i look up, I see your smiling face at me. I really, really do. I know you are smiling at me. I know you are with me. I am starting, just starting to simply feel you with me. Not in every step, but slowly you are making your way into your new permanent home away from home, and that as we both know, is my heart. I will carry your spirit forever. I promise you that. Ill see you later. Stop making me cry or my mascara will run. :) Loving you forever and ever and that love will redefine eternity.

I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. She was so full of life and she will be greatly missed. We bumped into her last summer at Dairy Barn & she was saying great things about you.

You are my shining star. Light up the sky.... even in the darkest of storms. Infinity.

Its getting harder. ALL i want to do is hold your hand. I would give the world to intertwine our hands. What I wouldnt do to feel the soft touch of your hands embracing mine. You are missed in ways that no words could do justice. Perhaps my tears tell a song... please listen closely... can you hear??

MOMMY,
I love writing to you. In a way, I guess it makes me feel like you are here with me, reading over my shoulder. I have decided to keep on writing to you, although, it will be on a more private venue. Please understand that I have my reasons and the great news is that as I continue to write to you each day and each night, it will be for YOUR eyes only. I miss you so much it hurts. This morning was particularly painful for me. But I am going to go ahead and try to make the best of my day without you. Ill write again tonight, but just for you, my endless love. Elmo and I are going on a long walk right now and we will be searching for you. Forever.

MOMMY,
Elmo and I are sitting here and he sends his best. We walked like two miles today and I absolutely am in love with him. I still wake up crying and go to sleep crying... you are SO missed. I found a CD that has TONS of photos and live video of both you and Irwin playing with Karsyn and Lucas - how lucky am I to have video of you!!!! You were in my dream last night... did you see me??? Not a minute goes by that I dont think of you... and sometimes I get REALLY sad and just totally lose it. Then, I get it together and carry on. But the truth is, this was NEVER in your cards... But you know what mom? I was cleaning out some stuff and was so happy to see that you saved many mothers day cards from me to you. I opened one and I had written exactly this, "Dear mom, How lucky am I that I have a personal angel and a personal star in the sky named, "Marcy". EEks. I didnt write it literally!!!
I must go to bed cause tomorrow is a big day. Doing things that need to be done - no worries mom. Ive got your back forever. Elmo and I are climbing into bed now and he is getting along with Clyve and Benny really well. I am missing you in ways you cant imagine.
All my love and love and love... until morning.

We arrived at the shore this morning and our first thought was to call Marcy. What a hole she has left in our lives and our hearts. We played golf and Marcy and Irwin were with us, at least in our thoughts. We know both of you are strong and your Mom has instilled such great values in you. Her legacy is in good hands and dear hearts.
We Love You!

MOMMY,
Missed you quite terribly at the beach yesterday. It was such a beautiful day... I watered all the plants and all of your orchids have begun to bloom - you would be thrilled. The mornings are still so hard and the evenings even harder. So many of your friends have requested specific pictures of you so today Im blowing them up and will make all your friends smile. Im not sure what to say today because all that I feel, truthfully, I find no words to describe or explain. I miss you so much. For example, last night at the beach I went to Steve and Cookies and I sat by the front entrance. Would you believe that everytime someone walked in I would quickly glance at them - secretly wishing that it was you walking in? Im still feeling that you are going to walk in the door any minute and its so odd. I am not in denial, I am too sane for that - but I cannot explain why I always feel that any moment you are about to come in. Maybe you are almost there and Im soon to expect you?? I found SO many fabulous photos at the beach so dont you know it, I spent most of the afternoon putting them in frames (you'd be proud). Oh, by the way, Amy and I are getting along really well so no worries there. And I am doing everything that needs to be done so dont even sweat it... Im sure you get my drift. You are in AMAZING hands. Mom, all in all, you were supposed to live forever with me. Not just inside my heart, but side by side, hand in hand. This is a tragedy that I still clearly cannot comprehend. I would give my life for yours if that would make you come back. I really would die for you. If you need anything or just want to talk, show me a sign or come tango with me in my dreams. You should wear your favorite red dress. I miss you, your spirit, your beauty, your grace, your energy, your love, your face, your hands and yes, I even miss massaging your feet. But dont worry about me mom, Ill make it through the storm and land on the rainbow. All my love forever.

I got to know your mother this summer @ CAMPCOREY. She was always around the house with a smile, a salad, a kind word and Elmo. (Chloe and Julianna wanted to move in!!) She was a very special lady. She will be missed.
Keep on soaring...

MOMMY,
Im so sorry I havent written you in a day or two. Ive been taking care of things that you would want taken care of. Trust me. Elmo is slobbering on you (us) as I type and he is doing great. He knows that I am a huge part of you and I think I even heard him bark, "mommy". Today, I had the best day.. I taught a class of 2 year olds (for specifics - Ill tell you when we meet in our dreams). I am still waiting for a sign... I hope you are okay - you will be there so shortly, I just feel it. I found the FUNNIEST photo of you, me and Amy today and Im blowing it up for us. We were like 10 and 12 and it made me smile.. you look so happy in it. I think about you ALL the time. I think you would be VERY proud of me as I am handling things as well as having a strong head on my shoulders. If your death made me live stronger - how could I deny?? I talked to Irwin today (of course he has a cell already) and he is waiting for you.... just look for the crazy bright sweater and perhaps yellow pants. Im grieving over you and Im letting it all out. Still go to bed crying and wake up crying but then some inner force carries me through the day. Strong friends and loving people surround me so please dont worry about me. I love you so much and i am soooooo scared, confused to even conceptualize life without you by my side. When you are ready, stand by my side and please, just hold me tight and never, never let go. I carry a photo album of you with me and each photo brings me both sorrow and joy... you will forever exist and I still cant believe that you arent running around right now doing a million and one things.... like organizing your closets, cleaning the cabinets, cooking, gardening, writing your one of many million list to do's, etc. Mom, my heart has been broken and I am counting on your spirit to help mend it. and guess what?? We will certainly prevail. Im sending you the biggest kiss and hug right now. You know, the kind of hug that is really tight and beyond meaningful. Im shutting my eyes and seeing yours in the reflection and this is what will have to get me by tonight. Every night I choose a different way. And lastly, I cant believe Im watching American Idol without you. All my love and heart and soul and spirit surrounds you. If you are unsure of where to turn - just turn towards me. Ill be waiting. And this is a heartfelt promise that has no expiration date, unless you are counting infinity. I love you, you colored my world and Ill continue to color yours with colors even you havent yet seen. Until tomorrow... sleep well.

Corey -
I really do miss my "Princess Marcy Diane"...what a gift she was to this world. I just loved her. She is the only woman I know who actually looked cool driving around in a red pickup truck with flowers painted on the side. Oh, that was just so Marcy. And, lets not lie...she really did give the most amazing presents. I mean, truly thoughtful and personal gifts from the heart. Marcy just knew how to make people feel special. I know that Marcy was loved by everyone who met her. There is no doubt that this world lost a one of a kind, fabulous, loving and inspirational woman.
Love always

mommy, had dinner tonight with some of your closest friends and we looked at pictures of you and laughed, smiled and cried. I bought a pack of stamps today that were all different flowers - and then i cried at the post office. It was like you were in each one. Missing you more than ever but keeping busy doing what needs to be done. Did I ever tell you how beautiful you are/were?? It occurred to me that maybe I didnt tell you often enough and Im sorry for not telling you each and every day. Today the sun was shining and some of the plants by the pool have started to bloom a bit. I am going to plant a tree for you this week and honestly, there is nothing more than I look forward to than that. You are so missed. I want your touch. I miss the security of your love. I miss so much about you and I have to believe that you TRULY know that you complete me. Sadly you left me far too soon, although you will never die. Love conquers all. I guess the good news is that I only cried twice today. Karsyn sends her best and we will be mailing you balloons en route to heaven on Saturday. Lucas and Karsyn have already started picking out their chalks and markers to decorate theirs. So not only watch out for them, but see if you can catch them with open arms. I love you mom and I miss you madly. Words aren't enough. There aren't any. But can you feel it? Of course.

We are saddened and shocked by the loss of Marcy; a close family friend whom we shared many great times with. She always made us feel loved with her hugs, warmth, and energy. She will always be known my parent's coolest friend.
Marcy was truly a one of a kind spirit that will live on in the lives of all she touched.
Our deepest condolences to her family and friends.

To have lost both Irwin & Marcy in such a short period of time has been alot for many of us to process. Our minds are filled with disblief & our hearts are filled with sorrow.
When Marcy entered a room everyone felt her presence. Her enthusiasm was always contagious. Her warmth, love & passion were inspiring. Marcy's spirit will remain with us & we'll hold on to memories to carry us forward.

hi mommy,
Missing you madly. Your touch, your smell, your love and most of all, I miss you, my mother, my love and light. I havent heard from you yet..I hope you are soon out of the darkness... I am SO here waiting for you... my arms are around you and I am SO wishing yours were physically around me. I have a picture of you and of us next to my bed and i kiss it each morning and each night. I am lost, confused and I would die tonight if that would bring you back. You gave me life and I will forever be grateful. As cheesy as this sounds, I believe you are still somewhere, lost in the dark but searching for the light at the end of the tunnel, or rainbow in your case. Keep on trucking because I feel you are almost there. Dont be scared... you have nothing to fear for you have far too much love behind you and in front of you. You are out of sight, but never out of my mind nor heart. Ps. I went to the flower show again and you would love the pretty flowers all around the house. You are everywhere... and everyone misses you. I sincerely hope you are aware of how much love you generated on this universe and how much love will continue to grow because of the seeds you so delicately planted. I miss you so much that my heart actually stings. All my love forever and ever until infinity... A word of advice - when you reach the stars, and join their musical dance, - becareful not to get too many stars caught in your hair. I hear they are hard to rinse out. until morning....Corey J

Corey and Amy - As i too understand the deep saddness that sits within you by losing a parent, i can only offer the blessing and fortune you both had of having such a loving, warm, sweet, full of life mother. I always adored her and will forever remember her unique character and gracious heart. You both are in my thoughts and wish you the peace you need to get you through. Amy I think of you often and would love to hear from you.
My love to you both.

Marcy,
Your soul is cherished immensely. I was so lucky to have you in my life this passed year. Everytime you walked into the Pet Salon you were like a ray of sunshine. No one could resist smiling when you were in their presence. I enjoyed all our conversations and laughters. I'll never forget when we had our talk about being life and our souls and how you believed Elmo's soul was a past human soul watching over you, becausre I believed it to. It is rare to have such an impact on people's life that even though you only see them one every other week that you look so forward to seeing them, Your spirit is energized, glowing, and unique just like a fairies. You are the only customer I ever hugged everytime they came in, and you will always be the only one. I love you Marcy.
Corey,
I only got to meet you once and I wanted to give you my dearest apologies. You are just as beautiful and full of energy as your mother and It's a blessing to this world that they'll always have a little marcy.
Love always,
Jamie
i love you

Good morning mommy. Just so you know, Ive watered all your plants. I woke up crying again and have begun to realize that this is an actual living nightmare. Please come visit me in my dream tonight.... Please send me a sign. Please let me know you are okay and happy. I love you so much and you will forever be the love of my life and ALWAYS the wind beneath my wings. You made my world a far better place and I was blessed for 34 years. I will grow and learn each day just like you would want me to, with you silently sleeping within my heart. Keep flying high - and please let me know when you've arrived in Cabo. Infinity envelopes every feeling I have for you. But gd, I miss making you crack up. So, Ill giggle and crack up today in your honor.

Mom - I think about you every moment. I go to bed crying and i wake up crying. I went to the flower show today and bought you your favorite flowers. I am so scared to "live" without you, although Ive got an empty heart awaiting for your arrival. My heart is the perfect pillow for you as you sleep. Im still in shock and will write more later but want you to know that Ive left you several voice mails on your phone in case you were lucky enough to pick up a new one. And Elmo will be with me forever and we cant wait to see you by the ocean. I'm expecting you to walk in the door any moment. I love you so much. You can never be replaced and I want you back. Please wake me up in the morning and tell me that Ive had an awful nightmare... and then, Ill make you some coffee and we will continue our dance and giggle like usual. Until morning..... Corey

We got to know your mother during our past 2 years on Washington Ave in Ventnor, and she was always an inspiration! Her smile and laughter was contagious. And her "random act of kindness" is something we should all live by. She made a difference in the lives of all those she met. She will be truly missed. If there is anything we can do, please don't hesitate to call.
Fondly,
