I have been remiss, and for this I am so sorry. Like always, your heart which was larger than life, will forgive and understand.
How can it be 16 years? Truly, not a day goes by that I don´t think about you and miss you so very much.
It has been a very tough four years, but somehow, I know, you know that. Many of those days I have had to stop and smile as I got through another day and I knew it was you! I miss you and Ed more than any words will ever express, but you know that too. You were both my world. How I so long to hear, "Don´t worry honey, everything will be alright!" See you on the other side of the stars. My love always...

After all these years, I still miss my Aunt Lakey very much. Whenever I remind my mother about Lakey, she always says how much she loved and misses her.
October 11, 2019
Love and miss you just as much after all these years...
Please watch over Ed and give him tight hugs from us.

The years grow more the tears a bit less, but missing you, never changes. I love you and miss you more with each passing day...

I have a friend in Heaven
Whom I speak with every night.
When my nights feel really dark
She is a friend who brings me light.
When I am really down,
If only I could be with her.
It is so very lonely.
She is not around.
She is so kind, loving and listens,
Even though I am talking daft!
I know she is making her funny faces,
But I just turn and smile.
She brought me so many happy times.
When I lost her,
My world was at an end.
But then she came to me in my dreams and prayers.
SHE IS, MY MOM, MY FORVER FRIEND!
Five years has passed and I still love and miss you just as much

Tomorrow is Mother's Day. A day that really has no meaning for me any more. I never needed a "special" day to tell you how much I loved you. I felt that way everyday. You are in my thoughts daily and my prayers nightly. I love you Mom and miss you still, so very much.

I saw this today and thought so much about our last few years together and how much better I should have been. Oh God Mom, I love and miss you so much. Can your forgive me for those days when I wasn't the best?
When I get old, I hope you understand 'n have patience with me
... In case I break the plate, or spill soup on the table because I’m losing my eyesight, I hope you don’t yell at me.
Older people are sensitive, always having self pity when you yell.
When my hearing gets worse 'n I can’t hear what you’re saying, I hope you don’t call me ‘Deaf!’
Please repeat what you said or write it down.
I’m sorry, my child.
I’m getting older.
When my knees get weaker, I hope you have the patience to help me get up.
Like how I used to help you while you were little, learning how to walk.
Please bear with me, when I keep repeating myself like a broken record, I hope you just keep listening to me.
Please don’t make fun of me, or get sick of listening to me.
Do you remember when you were little 'n you wanted a balloon? You repeated yourself over 'n over until you get what you wanted.
Please also pardon my smell. I smell like an old person.Please don’t force me to shower.
My body is weak.
Old people get sick easily when they’re cold. I hope I don’t gross you out.
Do you remember when you were little? I used to chase you around because you didn’t want to shower.
I hope you can be patient with me when I’m always cranky. It’s all part of getting old.
You’ll understand when you’re older.
'n if you have spare time, I hope we can talk even for a few minutes.
I’m always all by myself all the time, 'n have no one to talk to.
I know you’re busy with work.
Even if you’re not interested in my stories, please have time for me.
Do you remember when you were little? I used to listen to your stories about your teddy bear.
When the time comes, 'n I get ill 'n bedridden, I hope you have the patience to take care of me.
I’m sorry if I accidentally wet the bed or make a mess.
I hope you have the patience to take care of me during the last few moments of my life.
I’m not going to last much longer, anyway.
When the time of my death comes, I hope you hold my hand 'n give me strength to face death.
& don’t worry..
When I finally meet our creator, I will whisper in his ear to bless you. Because you loved your Mom 'n Dad.
Thank you so much for your care.
We love you. ! ?

Four years have passed,
Always an ache in my heart.
I remember your bright blue eyes,
The smile that warmed my coldest days.
How do I carry on?
A question I still ask.
I try to view the world through your eyes.
To see the goodness you saw.
I carry on the kindness and love you always shared.
And in my darkest days,
I feel that gentle touch on my shoulder,
A brief wispy kiss upon my cheek and
A strong wind blows from behind that pushes me on.
I know you are never really gone.
I love you Mom.

It is Rosh Hashanah...the brisket is in the oven, the chicken soup bubbling away on the stove, matzoh balls floating and fresh baked challah cooling. The smells in the house are so wonderful, yet there is a deep sadness in my heart. The person who taught me to cook all these wonderful things will not be with us tonight to share. I love and miss you Mom xox
Happy New year

Auntie Lakie,
We all miss you very much. I think of you often and remember all of the wonderful times we had and the many great stories you told me about you & my Mom. I know you are both together now watching down upon us. I love you.....Shana

Thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, with which I'll never part. God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart. Happy Birthday Mom, I love you CJ

If Roses grow in Heaven,
Lord please pick a bunch for me,
Place them in my Mother's arms
and tell her they're from me.
Tell her I love her and miss her,
and when she turns to smile,
place a kiss upon her cheek
and hold her for awhile.
Because remembering her is easy,
I do it every day,
but there's an ache within my heart
that will never go away.
Happy Mother's Day Mommy I love you!

I miss those sparkling blues eyes that greeted me everyday. I miss your wit, banter and sarcastic humor, but most of all I miss your unconditional love and devotion. I miss my biggest fan and my best friend. People were wrong...it does not get easier with time. Two years today and I love and miss you just as much!

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
June 18, 2009
Happy Birthday... a special day I will always hold in my heart. I love and miss you everyday.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, ""I welcome you.""
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......""My day was not in vain.""
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

It has been nearly a year and not a day goes by that I do not miss you.
You always thought it was I that took care of you, but little did you know it was much the other way around.
I miss you Mommy and often wonder how I will get through all the trials and tribulations without your kind heart, devoted love and warm smile. I love you so.

'Mar" was a kind and gracious lady and I consider meeting this family as one of the true blessings in my life. My memories of you are precious and I will keep them tucked away in my heart. Heaven is lucky to have you. Love, Cathy

To My Dearest Aunt Lakey a"h:
You always made me smile and were a breath of warm, fresh air in my life. I will remember you as a splash of color in a gray world, a ray of light in the darkeness, and a warm coat on a cold winter day. You, perhaps more than anyone, were able to give me comfort when I lost my father. When I felt alone and abandoned, you were able to remind me of his enduring love for and pride in his children. You were the best Aunt anyone could hope for and I will miss you very very much.
I am so happy that you met my wife, Miriam, and my children, Batya and Moshe Zelig (Sam) and were able to see firsthand your brother's namesake.
Thank you for being such a good big sister to my father and such a good friend to my mother.
To Cindy:
No mother could ask for a more giving, loving, or devoted daughter than you. I am so sorry for your loss. In you and your family, she lives.
Love,
Richard

My brightest light is gone. I can't imagine my world without you. You were the best Mother, Grand Mother and Friend I could have ever been blessed with. We will all miss your kindness, laughter and love.
