I spent so much time with my Aunt Linda, especially when I was young. I realize now how young she was. I'd sleep over at her and Uncle Sonny and Dixie's (their dog, my cousin) apartment. She would let me play with her clear pink and blue nail polishes. If Uncle Sonny (I called him Uncle Honey at first, because Aunt Linda always called him honey) worked the overnight shift at Con Edison, I would be up early and join him for his delicious dinner. It could be shrimp, chicken, spaghetti. Whatever he ate, I ate. My Aunt Linda would wake up and say, "Sonny, what are you feeding that kid?" I remember when they moved to Lyvere Street, my Aunt was happy. Now she had a schoffie. I don't know if I spelled it right, but she was happy.  She had a great laugh. I will always remember my Aunt Linda with a lot of love, all 4'11 and 1/4" of her. You couldn't forget that 1/4. I just spoke to her. I can't believe she's gone.

Dear Mike

I was deeply saddened to hear about the loss of your mother. My heart goes out to you and your family during this difficult time.

I had the privilege of meeting your mother, and I will always remember her warmth, kindness, and intelligence. She was an extraordinary woman who left a lasting impact on everyone she met. Her love and devotion to her family were evident in the way she spoke about you and the pride she took in your accomplishments.

May her memory be a blessing to you and your family. May you find comfort in the knowledge that she lived a full and meaningful life, and that her legacy will continue through you and the countless lives she touched.

As you navigate this challenging time, I want you to know that I am here for you. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything or just need someone to talk to.

May you be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem, and may you find peace and solace in the days ahead.

With deepest condolences,
Venessa
