Happy Birthday! If you were alive you would be 90 Years old as of 4/12/2019. Its been something else these past 6 years of not being able to see you or at least for me that is! Everyone grieves in their own way!

The day before your birthday, six years later it’s 11:52am on a fogyish day, sun peering through the fog and I am writing a letter to post on your forever missed page that I created for you! I am at my office desk, nothing special, and certainly not feel 100% myself. I choke back tears that stream down my cheeks, who knew I was a sappy one! It’s nothing unusual, I cry at all sad movies and I miss you and all the passing of relatives. I know sometimes I amaze myself on thought and to what extend I am capable of. Though the years that have past my thoughts and memories of you have never changed. I certainly remember our shopping trips and our Mahjong games we used to pay! I work for an attorney and I am enrolled in Pace Law School. For a paralegal degree. I finally grew up! Greygoose and Salem are with you in heaven my friend is also there with you and famous people and many others. There is no cell phone service up in Heaven so this letter for all to see on your page will have to do the job!

I thank you for the time we shared and knowing you would always have my back helped! I am 37 Years old now the Oldest Grandchild to you and Grandpa! And I thank you for everything! 

My Memories of my grandma replay in my dreams, no day goes by that I don’t think and dream about my grandmother. She was always an inspiration to the unknown she always told me not to be afraid of what I think is scary and what is always scary to me isn’t so frightening. My grandma always told me to dream big and whatever I want out of life is just a reach away. I am the oldest grandchild and the only girl that my grandma had. My grandma’s life was lived she lived everyday with us grandchildren as if she was leaving us the next day she spoiled us on shopping trips, dinners, and lunches, My grandma maybe gone but surely not forgotten. She is always there whether in spirit form or in our mind. I love you grandma and miss you so much.

Madeleine E Stern, will forever be my grandmother even though she is no longer with us. She died August 29, 2013 from Alzheimer’s. She was my forever angel in life and she always was a joy to be around. She inspired me for greatness and showed me not to be scared of what life may through at me. She is my grandma; she is always in my heart and in my families’ heart. She was a mother a grandmother, and a great grandma to our youngest children in the family. My grandma was my friend and family she taught me a lot of life and told me to always dream big. My Grandma Madeleine Stern was a smart educated lady with a heart of gold. She was a strong believer in life and what it could offer anyone all you had to do was look. I remember as a child our backwards dinners with our grandma. And When I turned 25 years old she was too young to drink. She always made us laugh. Life now is lonely and it’s been not even a month since she has past but no day goes by without me thinking of her. I want to raise money so that one day no one else has to live with the amount of heart ache and pain people that die from this disease live with. For my grandma I love you!
