My dearest Dad,

There has not been even ONE day that I do not think of you. My heart still aches more than anyone could imagine but my thoughts and memories of the great life we shared continue to inspire me and warm my soul. I always have and always will love you unconditionally. I wish we would have had many more wonderful years together; you were taken way too soon. I love you so very much and will continue to think of you with every breath I take.

My Dear Dad,

There has not been one day since your passing that I have not thought of you. I see you in my mind's eye and I feel you in my heart every single day from the moment I awaken until the time I close my eyes.

I love you so very much and have only the fondest of memories of you and Mommy. I remember all the fabulous times we shared, as a family, the numerous trips we took together, and the countless times we would just tell stories and laugh our hearts out uncontrollably...even hours afterwards. In fact, sometimes I find myself laughing out loud reminiscing about those times.      

I also cry often, as I am this moment. I know you would not want to see me cry but please know that is only because I miss you so much and feel that you were taken from us too soon. But Dad, even though I cry, I still feel warm and fuzzy inside because of the life we shared. I feel truly blessed to have had such an incredible Dad; you were our rock, and you still are mine. I miss you with every breath I take and I know that I always will.

I love you with ALL MY HEART!

Your little girl XXXOOO

Your memories have become my heartbeats, which means I am thinking of you ALL THE TIME.

Here I am lighting another candle just five days after lighting one for my dear Dad. Today is the two-year anniversary of Mom's passing and two years ago, on Mother's Day, was her funeral. 

I know I have said this before but I still so vividly remember the day she passed. She looked so beautiful that I could have sworn she was still breathing. 

Mom, I just loved being your daughter and I take solace in knowing that you and Dad are together again.  And I do believe in love at first sight because I loved you the moment I first opened my eyes.

I miss you every single day and my heart always will be with you. I constantly think of the great times we had as a family and I miss your laugh, your gorgeous smile, and your incredible sense of humor, and unparalleled intuitiveness. 

I love you dearly. You're always near and forever missed. Your loving daughter.

Mom and Dad

Those we love don't go away
They walk beside us every day
Unseen, unheard, but always near

Forever in Our Hearts

RHONDA. As I look through the pictures of mom and dad, they were truly a gorgeous couple....movie star quality. It was so much fun sharing a cabana with your entire family and all the make up lessons I got from mom. They are gone but not forgotten.

I cannot believe it has already been three years since my Dad’s passing. He was a man like no other. With my Mom, he gave me life, nurtured me, at times, dressed me, fought for me, held me, kissed me, guided me, but more important than anything, he loved me conditionally. There are not enough words to express just how important my Dad was to me and what a powerful influence he continues to be. He gave everything he had and brought so much joy and happiness to my life.

Not a single day has gone by when I have not thought of you, Dad. Memories of our life together will never, ever fade away. I truly believe you are near even though I don’t see you. You are in my thoughts, my heart, and in my life ALWAYS. Sometimes I look up, smile, and say, “I know that was you!” I miss you so very much. You are forever missed!

Your loving daughter.

My Dearest Dad,

There has not been even one day when I have not thought of you with the utmost love and admiration. I always say I only miss you when I breathe and that is so true. You were my first love, my forever hero, and my heart will ALWAYS be with you! I miss you so much!!!  Forever your little girl! XXXOOO

Dear Dad, 
I am now in Israel and will be here for the anniversary of Mommy’s passing too. I know it was your dream to return there with Mommy and me. Although that dream did not come to fruition, I truly believe that you both are with me every millisecond of this phenomenal trip. 
I can certainly understand why both of you talked about it till the day each of you passed. It is so enlightening, so spiritual, and so incredibly beautiful and I am only one third through my trip! 
I miss you dearly but I know that you are watching over me and smiling. I love you so much and still miss you with every breath I take.

Dad, as you know, today was Mommy's birthday. Since the stone was ready, I chose today to have the unveiling. It was a beautiful day; the sun was shining upon us as Rabbi Polirer conducted a lovely service. 
You are now together again in your final resting place and I hope that you are blessed with eternal peace. You are more than a memory; you are a living presence and I love you both so very much.

Rhonda, I don’t know if you would remember me. I used to babysit for you on cozine ave. My name is Malka(Schipper) I have two brothers , josh and Sidney. I remember your parents very well. The most handsome and warm people. Your mother was so gorgeous and your father was beyond handsome and always a gentleman. I always wondered about them. Sorry to hear that they and Randy have passed but I was happy to read all the memories of them. I wish you well and good memories to carry you through

Rhonda....i am so saddened to learn about mom, dad and Randy’s passing. May they all RIP. I have such fond memories of being with you and the entire family at the beach club. I always had good times and great laughs with mom. Randy was my beach buddy and dad was the greatest.

Dad,

While Mommy was in the hospital last week, she turned to one of the doctors and said, "I had a great life!" You are the reason. I love you.

Dearest Dad,

I am so sorry I have not written. I have been preoccupied with Randy and then Mommy. Randy passed on February 26th-as you know he had been very sick. Three months after you passed, Mommy had gall bladder surgery and then six months following that, was diagnosed with a pancreatic tumor after battling a bout with jaundice. She has not been up to par for several months now and although she had treatment and was getting by, she did not make it. These past two weeks have been really trying; she was extremely uncomfortable due to her illness. 

She was hospitalized last week due to a gastric outlet obstruction and was discharged Monday with at home Hospice care. She was in great hands, with round-the-clock nursing, but I know she will be better protected and more comfortable with you by her side, as you have been for almost 64 years. I know you have been waiting for her with open arms and that you have missed her tremendously. 

She passed last night and now the two of you will be together again very soon. There is no one left in our immediate family now. I am literally on my own but I am assured knowing that you both will be watching over me as I live my life. I love you both more than life itself and hope that the two of you rest in peace till eternity.

My Dear Friend Rhonda,

Although we knew each other from the 80’s, it wasn’t until the year 2000 that we had the opportunity to work together and instantly developed what was to become a life long friendship. Together, we not only shared a vision for one of the largest Public Schools in NYC, but our lives. 

Your Dad was a gentleman in every sense of the word. He was kind and considerate, cherished his wife and adored you. There was nothing he would not do for his family. Take comfort in knowing that he will continue to be your pillar of strength as he watches over you and your mom.  My love and prayers are with you.

My Dear Dad,

I cannot believe that today is three weeks since your passing. I still think I am going to hear your voice when I call the house or get a call from you, as I usually did. I also keep expecting to see you when I come to visit like I did every single day since I moved down here. I know we had plans to go places and do things and my heart breaks knowing that we did not have the chance to live out all of your dreams.

Your presence is forever in my heart and the sadness of your untimely passing permeates my soul. I miss you so much!

Dear Rhonda Thank you for sending me this web-site its a wonderful tribute to your dad. I first met your dad about 11 years ago when my wife Marcia and I moved into Watersedge D the same building where your parents reside. I remember almost every day he would be cleaning his car.

I have known Maxie for many years. From the first day I met him, he was always consistently warm, friendly and sincere. He was a devoted husband and father. He was a very hardworking man. Paul and I have always enjoyed his company whenever we were with him. We respected him and always admired him. R.I.P.

I always will remember the influence my Dad had on my life. I am who I am because of him and I just loved being his daughter.

I just keep seeing an amazing handsome man, wearing sun glasses, dancing with his beautiful wife, glowing in the joy of their daughter's achievements.

I remember the fun on the boat-docking, eating, listening to loud music and many, many smiles and laughter!


I remember the quiet, humble, strength-the father that was always there for my best friend-helping, assisting in any way possible-truly the definition of a wonderful father!!!!

Thank you for touching my life!
