It's hard to believe you've been in Heaven 10 years Mom. I miss your laughter, twinkle in your eyes, mischievous ways and the love you shared unconditionally. You continue to guide me when I need guidance and make me laugh or cry when I remember our times together. Until we meet again. Xoxo Karen

Thinking of you today. It's hard to believe it's been 9 years since we saw your blue eyes twinkling. But the truth is the twinkle left long before when your memory began to disappear. I pray that you found peace and are surrounded by your loved ones in Gods kingdom. I look forward to you warm embrace when we meet once again. Love you and miss you.

Happy 90th birthday mom. I don't think you'd want anyone to know your real age today. You looked so much younger than your true age.
We're watching wheel of fortune just like you often did. I miss playing games with you. I hope you're playing with the angels. I doubt they'd let you cheat though.
Love and miss you. Until we meet again. Your loving daughter, Karen

I remember when we used to light up your face with a simple bouquet of flowers on Mother's Day. Although you loved gifts you loved spending the day with those who loved you even more. I miss those times when we would sit around the dining room table and just talk about nothing really, just talk, laugh, and sometimes cry from laughing so hard. I'm happy to report Rick will be joining us for dinner today. We'll have a toast to you, I'll have a dewars and water in your honor today Mom. I finally acquired a taste for it just like you said. Love and miss you. Your loving daughter, Karen

Happy 86th Birthday Mom. Gerry and I were talking about the good ole days when you used to call out our names. It's hard to even think of you in your 80's especially since you never wanted to reveal your true age. Well, you're ageless now, mom. I love and miss you dearly. Until we meet again. Give everyone a hug and kiss for me. Your loving daughter, Karen

Happy 85th birthday Mom. I really miss our times together. It's hard to find a good scrabble partner to play with. No one is quite like you. I pray that you are happy and healthy again. When I lsiten to Frankie sing "Someone to watch over you" I know you are now watching over me. I love and miss you. Until we meet again, happy birthday, your little girl.

Karen has your eyes...I was little when I met you. Well not little. Karen and I had a puppet show on the front porch. You came. You were so proud of us. It was so silly.
Yet you reveled in it. You were always proud of Karen. You praised her, encouraged her and when she kicked you out of her room before the door was slammed the "I love you's" were always exchanged. I can still hear it.Those were the terrible teens. Oh she got in trouble when we took off for the shore for the weekend and you didn't know it. And yea we had to come home. And you worried when we went to NYS yet we were OK. And you watched me grow into a young Woman and get married...I am glad you were there. I think of you every time I look at the beautiful lithograph you gave me in my favorite color...pink. And I remember...I will always remember you. Karen is a wonderful Daughter and I am glad you had each other. She is amazing and I know how proud you are of her still. May the Lord Bless you and keep you.I hope you are dancing with stars and the love of your life...
Love,
Stephanie

Mom,
I see you're smiling face before me and long to hear your voice. We had a lot of fun together and I'm grateful you were not only my mother but my friend. Until we meet again in eternal life know that you're always in my thoughts and prayers and that you continue to have a big influence in who I am. Thank you!

I miss you telling me that you love me. I miss seeing your face illuminate when you would see me. I miss you telling me "you're so beautiful". I miss you hugging me. I miss playing scrabble with you. I miss talking with you over nothing special, just talking about life. I miss giving you manicures and styling your hair. I miss your warmth and concern. I miss you making me laugh. I miss your laughter. I miss hearing you call my name. I miss hearing you call Ken. I missed spending your 82nd birthday with you, I think it was the only time we weren't together on your special day. I miss my mother and my friend. I pray that you and dad are together once again with all your friends and family in heaven. I hope that you are both healthy and happy again with all your memories and creating new ones.</b></font><br><br>

Karen and Stew,
I am very sorry for your loss. It breaks my heart to know that you have lost both of your greatest loves so close together.
I know that they are in a better place without pain and with each other. Think of heaven as a garden where you shall find again those dear ones who have made your world.
Jean was the only person on earth who could divide her love among all her childen and each child still had all her love.
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.</b></font><br><br>

I had never met Jean, but I did know her.
It's been said that the measure of a person's life can be determined by how well one's children turn out. As I said, I never personally met Jean, but I know her daughter Karen. And what I know of Karen is that she is honest, hardworking and above all incredibly caring toward her family and friends. Karen’s strength and character are a reflection of Jean and Ken. They both live on in their family and especially in Karen. So by knowing Karen, I feel that I did know Jean.
God bless you Jean and may you find the piece you’ve been looking for these past few years.</b></font><br><br>

I called you Mom but you were not my Mother. I called your husband Dad and he was not my father. Karen is not my sibling, yet still my sister. We were not related, although still family. I love you and will miss you very much. Karen has said that I've been crying more than her. But, I can stop now because I know that you and Ken are together again - I saw you on the Turnpike. Don't worry Ma, I will help to take care of Ka! Love Pammy xoxo</b></font><br><br>

I shall always remember the first time Hal and I met Jean and Ken. Our son, Stew, and their daughter, Karen were going to be married and it was time to meet the parents. Karen and Stew knew one another for only a few weeks when they decided to get married. I was to break the news to Stew's dad. As Hal sat in his easy chair, I said, "Stew and Karen and going to get married." No response. I said, "Next week." Still no response. I added, "In Hawaii." I waited while he puffed on his pipe for a few minutes and he replied, "Aloha."
Now the time had come for us all to become acquainted. We made arrangements to meet for dinner. I know I was nervous - would Ken and Jean approve of us, would Karen like us as in-laws. And we also had to pass the test with Carol and Press. The evening went well -- we were a family and joy and love abounded. It is unfortunate that it wasn't long before Jean started to slip away from us and our lives were further saddened by Ken's death.
I think my fondest memory of Jean was a weekend we spent together. It was one of those snowy, cold days in January in the mid 90's when Karen called me. This particular weekend Hal, Ken and Stew were going to be away so Karen suggested we have a slumber party at the condo. I offered to make the soup and Karen did the rest. We dressed in out hanging-out clothes, sat around eating, chatting and, of course, playing Scrabble. Jean was an ace at Scrabble (though she did try to cheat once in a while). The next morning before Karen got up, Jean came in where I was sleeping and sat in the chair next to me. We reminisced about our concerns on our children's short courtship. We spoke of how happy they were and how blessed we were. It was a real mother-to-mother talk. This is the Jean I will always remember.
We know that Jean is at last at peace in heaven with her beloved Ken. The smile is back on her slips and the twinkle in her eyes. From Hal and me, farewell, Jean, you are in a far better place now. And it wouldn't surprise me if you, Ken and Press are talking the angels into a came of cards.
Love, Marilyn</b></font><br><br>

To Karen,
I know that words along are of little comfort at this time, but would offer you and your family the following thought: there is peace now - for your Mom there is serenity and tranquility everlasting in the Kingdom of Heaven, and for you and your family the comfort that comes from knowing there can no longer be any pain nor suffering nor anguish for her, only peace. Allow yourselves the time to mourn and to grieve, and then also the time to rest and renew yourselves.
You are in our thoughts and prayers,
the Herschlag family</b></font><br><br>

I'm Karen's friend. Two quick and fond memories came right away. Speaking with Mrs. Smith one day and how she told me what a great husband she had and how good he was to her. That made me smile just hearing the love in her voice.
The other memory is how Karen told me she played cards with her mom and how she loved spending the time with her.
Karen is a wonderful friend and daughter. I know how much she loved her mom and took care of her. I know she will be deeply missed. But now she's with her loving husband in heaven!</b></font><br><br>
