Mom,
I never got to tell you, Zak eats spicy Thai food! Wonder where he got that from?? I also wanted to tell you that everytime I apply my $58 jar of wonderfully-smelling Lancome face cream, I am reminded of you and your skin that you so graciously passed on to me. Yes, even on a Sailor's salary, I treat myself to that jar every year on my birthday so I can stay as beautiful as you are. I love you.

Thanks to all of you who have visited and written. I have had a very tough couple of weeks, but I believe I am grieving in the right way. So many people have shared their stories of loss, giving me an opportunity to cry with them and it feels right. I begin counseling next week. I wanted to attach my comments from the service....
I remember my mother’s unconditional love. No matter what we did wrong (and boy did we accomplish a lot in that area) she was forgiving.
I remember my mother’s strong belief that the world was an amazing place and that anything was possible. She made me believe that I was amazing and capable of accomplishing anything I set my mind to.
I remember my mother’s smile. Big, beautiful, ever present.
I remember my mother’s cooking, of which my father already spoke. She cooked with the kind of love that made ordinary things delicious, and beckoned friends and neighbors to the table on a weekly basis.
I remember my mother’s sense of community. The community that she created among our friends and family. The sense that you would always have a place to stay, if needed, or an ear to listen. I remember a house full of people, staying a night or staying two years...
I remember my mother making the ordinary fun. I recall one time, when I was about 7, my mom became inexplicably angry with me and my sister and ordered us to get into bed, which we both ran and did (my mother didn’t get mad often, but when she did, you didn’t mess around.) She came in and told us to get under the covers. There, each of us found a KISS album
I remember my mother supporting me and my sister in whatever we wanted to do. Whether it was watching me, Angie and Tracy perform numbers from All that Jazz, to her learning how to dress me in a Japanese Kimono and drive me all over Los Angeles for recitals, she was there for me 100%. And for my sister as well. At 15, my sister expressed an interest in flying. My mother took her gliding for her birthday. And when Becca began racing motorcylces, there was no greater race fan than my mom. She lived for making sandwiches for the pit crew.
I remember my mother and father together... 42 years of marriage. I remember her deep and abiding love for my father, that helped them get through the ups and the downs . Through the ups and the downs, it was never questioned that they would always be together.
I remember the first time my mom held my oldest son, James. I remember the sense that I had at that moment, that despite all of my worry, and concern, despite the fact that I had no skills or instinct or even practice in parenting, that I too would be a great mother. Because she was, and that she had taught me, without ever saying a word, everything I needed to know about motherhood.

Memories of visiting Suzy in the Bronx when we were around 12 and being taken under her wing and treated so lovingly by this glamorous cousin with so much vitality it was exciting just to be around her are still vivid and dear to me. I send my deepest sympathy to her family.

To my Godmother, my Best Friend and 'favorite' Aunt... I will miss you so much, but I will always have your song of life in my heart.
"We are each of us angels with only one wing; and we can only fly embracing each other." ^unknown^
So we must always remember to embrace each other always and remember to say I love you today.
Susan and Janie are flying higher than the rest of us.
