Linda, Barbara and Family, So very sorry to hear of your Mother's death. I know she was the center of your universe. It won't be easy, but draw on all those memories...they will get you through this and know your Mother touched many lives and she did make a difference. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

It’s hard to lose someone you love, but even harder when that person is your mother, whose place no one can take. It leaves a void that can’t be filled. It’s no comfort to hear “it was her time” or “she was suffering.” One day she was here, and now she’s gone. And that hurts.
Mom, each morning I start a new day but the pain of losing you doesn’t go away. I go about the things I have to do and as the hours pass I think of you again. I want to call you and just hear your voice, and then I remember that you aren’t there. My heart cries just to see you again, to tell you goodbye one more time. To say Mom I love you and I always will.
The day you left I just couldn’t face that you were really going where I couldn't go. I knew you were ready, your job here was done, but the selfish side of me didn’t want to let you go. My memories of you are wonderful, but gosh, how I miss you and wish you were still here. It’s so hard to tell you goodbye.
Someday I know all will be well. I'll see you again with stories of how you were missed, how we’ve have grown, and how good it is to finally be home.
Until then my memories of you I'll keep near.
I miss you Mom. Love, Linda

HI
So sorry to hear ofyour moms passing.
we were raised in the same neighborhood in Brooklyn.
I knew her entire family.
She had a great nature.
And we got together through email just a few years ago
We all went different ways but we still remember old Brooklyn and the fun we had.
May she rest in peace.
God Bless all of you

ELEANOR'S MOTHER MARION AND MY MOTHER, LALA, WERE FAST FRIENDS IN BROOKLYN.... I WAS BORN IN MAY, ELEANOR IN JUNE. AND WE SHARED LOTS F GOOD TIMES THROUGH OUR TEEN YEARS. I MARRIED AND WENT TO PANAMA AND SHE MARRIED TOM AND TRAVELED ALL OVER. WE STARTED VISITING WHEN SHE SETTLED DOWN IN VIRGINIA BEACH WITH TOM AND THEIR CHILDREN. I HAD MANY GOOD TIMES VISITING. THEY WERE WONDERFUL HOSTS. ELEANOR CAME TO JACKSONVILLE ABOUT 3 TIMES. SHE LOVED TO GO OUT ON OUR SMALL GAMBLING BOATS. ONE TIME SHE AND I WENT ON A CRUISE TO THE CARRIBEAN AND THAT WAS GREAT. I WILL MISS HER AND HER CHILREN VERY MUCH. I WILL JOIN HER IN THE CASINO ONE DAY AND WE WILL HAVE MORE GOOD TIMES. BLESS ALL YOU CHILDREN AND I WILL KEEP IN TOUCH...
