Hi Mom, I've been meaning to write a memory, but I have so many and I cherish each and every one. So as you may know (because your looking down on all of us) this is a crazy time we are all living in with COVID-19.  I can just hear you saying, "Oh come on, if everyone just used common sense..." You would also say that the Earth is teaching us a lesson. Which I believe It is as well. We humans have soooo much to learn from this planet. I take the time to listen to the birds, the wind, the trees, the universe. I love to walk barefoot in the grass, touch and feel the trees. If it wasn't for you teaching me these most basic things my whole life I would take them for granted, like so many people. Those people are missing out on so much. I am grateful for every blade of grass my feet touch, each bird my ears hear and for everything I have in my life no matter how big or small. Thanks to YOU. You taught me all of that. 

I can honestly say I lost sight of the little things in life for a while, but I have been through so much this year and those trials have grounded me; reminding me I am no better than anyone else. I remember John and Duke in NYC...... I am no better than them. I am thankful for everything I have and am so grateful I was raised by such a strong amazing woman! I wouldn't be the person I am today if it wasn't for you. I miss you every second of every day. However, I feel you everyday; you are clicking you heals and are free! I love you so much and thank you for being my mom.

Wendells!!

My big little sister...I miss you so much! You taught me so many things. Mostly optimisum. You had so many obstacles to overcome and you rose to every occasion with beauty and finesse! I truly love all of our memories together...some all our own...some shared with others. I will never forget finding the Teddy Bear in the stars!!!! All of the footprints in the snow. The egg that stood up on end. You are the STAR of your show now and forever!!! I love you forever and miss you every moment until we meet again. Love you always your big little sister! If you can wave to me from heaven. I know you are there! 2005

Wendy

Wendy you will be missed by everyone. You have had a rough last couple of years but you always stayed positive and said “It Is What It Is”. As a kid I always enjoyed coming over to stay with you at Marconi Rd. and going down to Shark River, and will always remember our camping trip to Upstate NY. I am so glad that you moved to Florida and became close to my family. You and Ryan had a special connection. The past few years we have done some amazing trips together and the memories we have will keep you in are hearts forever. I will miss your humor and the way you always had a way of livening things up. I love you and miss you, Jeff

Mom was my best friend in the world. Not only to me. But to many of my friends. She will be soarly missed by many. She touched the hearts of all met. My Mom was the Best😞

My dearest wendy, it was  my privilege to be your caregiver for the last year and half. We spent so many hours talking that I felt like I knew you all my life . I learned a lot from you to be kind no matter what. It saddens me that we didn’t have more time together. You will always be in my heart. I am glad that your at rest now. No more pain . Love you so much. The other Wendy 

Wendy,
I remember the summer of 1961 at the New Jersey State Roller Skating Championships at State Areana in Lakewood N. J. when I first met you and your Mom. You were only 9 years old, and a month later you were my skating partner, and you mother our pro. She coached us to many skating championships in Dance, Pairs, Fours and singles throughout the next 3 years. In 1964 we made it to the National Championships. 
After I married your mom and you became my step-daughter we still remained close throughout the years. You stayed the course and at out homestead at 2005 Marconi Rd, until you came to Florida to help me care for your mom. We sure had many memorable times the three of us. When she died in 2012 it was you again who was there to now save me, and helped me go on with life. The old partners were at it again now traveling with friends and family and a lot together throughout, the Caribbean, Panama Canal, Europe, Hawaii, Tahiti, Canada, and Atlantic and Pacific crossings on several ships.Remember our" High Tea" at 3:00 PM on the Queen Mary with  Jessica, Anthony, and little Anthony.
I still can't believe it how fast you got sickened with all the problems you had to deal with. Going deaf, no longer able to walk, COPD, oxygen 24/7, you heart etc. I remember when you asked me if you were dying and I told you no way not on my watch. I said the doctors have been trying to kill us for years, but we were like roaches, they just can't kill us. I also said "Race you to Heaven" but unfortunately I wish this was the one race you would have lost. I'm so sorry I failed you. I was sure I was going to be able to make you better. At least get you back to where you were before you went to the hospital this last time. I still had so much more living for us to do. Please forgive me for my shortcomings.
 (TO BE CONTINUED SEE WENDY CONTINUED)

WENDY CONTINUED ....

One thing for sure you will never be forgotten just like your Mom. You have touched so many people you two will live forever in the hearts and minds of all of us who have had the pleasure to know you.
I'll always remember your pet sayings. " DO YOU REMEMBER", - "SMILES ARE FOR FREE YOU CAN GIVE THEM AWAY". - "IT IS WHAT IT IS", - " STAR LIGHT, STAR BRIGHT, FIRST STAR I SEE TONIGHT, I WISH I MAY, I WISH I MIGHT, GET THE WISH I WISH TONIGHT", - "BOO YA!!!". - and many more , but your most memorable and your new nickname, "NO MORE BETS", - (NMB)
Throughout the 58 years I've know you you always had a positive attitude, and nothing ever got you down, you use to say (GOD GAVE ME SOME MORE LEMONS SO I'LL MAKE MORE LEMONADE". You were truly braver than I could ever be.
All the animals miss you especially Nick but so do all the rest, Grey Poupon. Little Guy, Sandy, two can, Skampy Doodle, Toto, Tink Tink, our cats., and Puff Puff, Cruddles, and Lollita our Birds. They won't forget you either.
Well,  partner be sure to cross "Rainbow Bridge" so your Mom, Heather, and all the other family and friends, with all of your animals combined (it will probably look like Noah's Arch) can be all together.
I love you and miss all of you so much you can't imagine. I will continue to visit my three girls everyday until I join you.
Until then love always,
Your Partner, Pop, and your Best Friend!!!
XXXOOO
