Mom ~~

Wanted to wish you a Happy New Year and let you know I won't be writing you here anymore. It will expire soon and I talk to you every day anyway.

I know you see what is going on and how much I have been hurt, but I will survive. You and Dad know the outcome and hopefully soon I will too.

I wish you were here to talk to me in person and help me through this, but I have to just accept the fact I can't

You and Dad must have felt so proud when Sunny Isles honored Dad the way they did. I was so proud. It was such a beautiful ceremony.

Mom, I love you and miss you more than anyone can imagine.

Love

I know you think I forgot your birthday but actually I have thought about it for days. I was in Lexington on your birthday at a wedding for one of Jess's friends. I have decided not to write in this book anymore. I would rather just talk to you and dad in my prayers. I love you both and hope you understand.

Happy Birthday, Mom. I miss going to try to find just the right gown, with pockets, of course. After all these months, I still can't believe I am writing to you here instead of picking up the phone and singing happy birthday. I miss that little chuckle after I finished singing.

I love you Mom, and miss you more than anyone could imagine. Maybe Dad was able to find just the right gown for you this time.

Be Happy and have a wonderful Birthday. I love you

Happy Anniversary Mom. When I read the card that Dad sent you last year with the roses he gave you and saw 58 years, I thought wow. Now one year later, you and Dad will once again be able to celebrate together. My heart still aches, but at the same time knowing you two will be celebrating #59 together gives me some comfort. Celebrate your love for each other today and forever.

Love

Mom:
It was always so difficult finding just the right anniversary present for you and dad but it was something I always enjoyed looking for. Your love for each other always gave me hope that maybe one day I could be half as happy as you and dad were. That day will never come for me but I am glad you and dad enjoyed all of your years together here and will be enjoying the rest of your lives together in blissful peace. I love you

Mom, I tried calling but the lines were busy as usual. This is the lonliest Mother's Day ever. I believe this is the first year I ever really knew the meaning of the word mother. It is everything you tried to teach me as I was growing up. I love you

Happy Mother's Day Mom !!! I have an empty place in my heart today. Here is the card I would have mailed to you.

You're the Best Mom a Daughter Could Have
I love you, Mom, for being not only a gentle mother, but also a friend I could share with and talk to and trust.

I love you for being yourself with me and letting me know you the way you are ....

I love you for standing up to me when I needed it and for standing by me always.

I love you for telling me the truth when I didn't want to hear it, for havng so much courage and so much patience and so much love.

Mom:

As you know I have been feeling some of the pain that you had through out your life. Although I always felt some of your pain it was no where near how it actually feels. I have been sick since before Christmas and am hoping things will turn around soon. I know you already know but Angel is getting married February 16, 2008. Yep, finally. She is so happy and will get the life she deserves. I love you mom

I read this poem, Mom, and instantly thought of you. I love you.

I did not lose my mother
Because she gave so much to me
I still hear her words
And she is part of who I am
I see her everywhere I go
In everything I do
She continues to be a blessing
And our legacy lives on.

Happy New Year Mom. I guess this coming year will be a year of happiness and health for you. I miss talking with you and you telling me how hot it is in Florida while I tell you how cold it is here.

I felt the need to talk to you right now because I am having a very difficult time right now and can't pinpoint exactly what triggered it. Writing to you like this helps me and makes me feel like you are listening.

One can only believe that you are in a wonderful, peaceful place with your loved ones who you have missed through the years. I know I will see you again.

I love you and miss you terribly.

Love Robin

Grandma,
I love you so much!!
what i shared with you the two weeks or so before you passing will always be in my heart and i know now that i was so thankful for what i got to have with you.
hannukah was not the same without you and grandpa, but i know as well as the whole family does, you were with us.
I felt you in that one spot of yours with your feet up, the dog right next to you and your kleenex in your hand asking each and every one of us to feel your nose. Your picture hangs above my bed on the ceiling so i see you and feel your presense before i go to sleep and every morning when i wake up. The most important thing is that now you are with grandpa, and that is what you wanted all along. your love for each other gives me a hope and hopefully what you have i can too. God wanted you home with grandpa and now he has you both to run heaven.. so now nothing bad will happen. i will miss being your assistant, and hearing every morning around 2-4 Elizabeth i need your assistance.
i love you so much grandma, and i know you feel the same. unfortunantely god has the power to take you from us, and everything happens for a reason.
HAPPY HANNUKAH , grandma, and granpa
i love you both so very much =]

Mom:
Missed you on the first night of Channukah. I had no one to tell what I got for gifts, although I know you were watching over us. Love you

Mom ~~

Tonight was the first night of Hanukkah and you were so missed. The special time we shared together for the last three and one-half weeks of your life will forever be with me. My only comfort is that you are back with Dad now. The love you have for each other is a love people can only hope for in their lifetime.

You and Dad left us too early but I know that the two of you together are now looking down upon us with love.

Happy Hanukkah, Mom

I love you
Robin

The loss of someone so close is difficult to bear. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

November 13, 2007

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. As i think of the loss of both you and dad sadness takes over my life. May your hearts both be filled with joy and happiness as you have each other again, lifes precious gift is to be with the one you love. My love for you is never ending and my strength will come from the fact that you and dad will be together again forever. I love you

Dear Diamond Family,
Once again my deepest sympathy to all of you. Rena always greeted me with that special smile of hers and a warm hug. She was a very special Lady and a great Mother and loving Grandmother. I pray you will be comforted by the fact She is once again with Her beloved Irving as they share eternity together.
