You were such an amazing mom raising 5 children all by yourself.  
You did your very best raising us with no family support as your own family turned their backs
on you. How you did it I will never I know. You are a true wonder woman. 
 You lost you mother at a very young age,  went through a divorce then lost your Dad.  You have the strength of 1000 warriors Mom. 
I have so many wonderful memories of Kemp Ave, riding sleds down road we lived on, catching fire flies and just exploring.  Then living on 124th Street in Lansingburgh.
Those were some wonderful times there. You loved looking out that 3rd floor window at a beautiful snow storm.   You always were so excited with big snow storms.
You did your very best with Christmas although we were Jewish, it didn't matter, you wanted us to have what you did not.  And you did it all on your own mom.
WE love you so much, we admire your amazing strength you always had. You endured more than any person I know.  It made you the very strong woman that I always hoped to be and believe I am.  I love and miss you so much, please take care of Billy and Sarra.
Until we meet again my beautiful Mother
