I just pray that you’ve been reunited with Bubbie, Zayde, Mom, Dad, my twin brother, Alan, your grandma Jean and uncle Gus, and the Plotnick family. I’m all alone hvg lost Mom, Dad, you and Alan so I’m all alone thinking about all of you every single day. Mom & Dad will have love for our 7 grandsons, Elijah, Luke, Wes, Gavin, Eadin, Miles & Max, and your grandchildren, Brad and Janine! As my 76th birthday approaches I am even more aware of my mortality than before! Gosh, I miss you beyond the horizon and think of the love we had for each other and for our mom and dad!
There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you. Life changed for me and others on September 4, 2011. This year your anniversary falls out on Labor Day Weekend. I plan to ring my bells for you and hope you hear them. Love ❤️ you very much and miss you more! Love forever, little Sis.
4 years have denied me the right to call you and ask for advice, or to express my love for you or to mention that we will be grandparents again.
I wanted to tell you that Westley did well with his surgery on Aug 18th, to remove 6” of intestines and also to tell you that the same exact date we became grandparents for the 6th time to a baby boy.
His Bris was on Aug 25th and his name is: Max Israel Firschein, such a strong name, and it looks like he may have red hair? His eyes are a beautiful blue.
We are possibly thinking of moving to Reno to be in a cooler climate, but wanted your advice, but once again-what about leaving Janine? What do you think?
Oh, how I miss your voice and laughter, but I don’t miss your trying to sing-LOL!
Please give yourself hugs from our growing family. Kiss mom, dad, Bubbie, Zadye, aunt Lil, uncle Sol, uncle Nat, Aunt Jean, uncle Gus, cousin Normie, my in-laws Gertie and Israel Firschein, and all others from our family-too many to mention.
Loving you always,
Little sis Tina, Fred, and our dogs, Taylor, McKenzie and Rascal.
Brad, Sharon, Westley, Miles, Eadin, Max, and cat Pogo.
Janine, Elijah, Gavin and doggie Jazzy!
My family consists of 11 now and you know we always had that thing about our last name Levin, huh?
Brad and his girlfriend, Sharon Jacobs, tied the knot on August 10th, 2014. She has a son, Eadin, who will be six next month. Now Fred and I have 5 grandsons.
They had a beautiful Jewish wedding and it was a total Mitvah to see that happen.
Janine got a promotion to be a Mentor of Head Start and she called me on Sept 4th to tell me. She’s been in Head Start for many years and finally applied for that particular position.
Fred and I celebrated 45 years of blissful marriage on August 16th and we are hoping for many more years to come.
We all miss you so much and wish we could tell you these things straight to your ears.
May God protect you in Heaven and please give kisses to: Mom, Dad,
Bobbe, Zayda, Aunt Lil, Grandma, Aunt Jean, Uncle Nat, Vic, Blackie, Lucky & Candy. I bet you’re busy dancing and spreading laughter. Love you big Sis! Little sis, Tina

Lady Lamp
Sandy looking at my mother's Lady Lamp. This was a special lamp and was loved by all with the romantic reason.
My mom & dad were walking home when she abruptly stopped in front of a store that was displaying the Lady Lamp and immediately fell in love with it. My dad was such a romantic and came up with an entire months salary to buy it for her. You could have imagined the look on her face when she unwrapped it? This was bought before we were born.
I have this LADY LAMP sitting on my buffet in my dining room. Fred refurbished her due to years of cigarrett smoke and being broken in shipment.
Fred put it back together again, PICKING UP THE PIECES, and retouching paint where it was missing and you would think it was brand new.
This lamp was made in Paris in 1884 and was one of 24 total that were made and shipped to the US.
Sandy's last picture to me.
On this day, August 26th, 2011, we had to put our Irish Setter, Sophie, down at only 8 yrs old due to finding out that she had a massive tumor in her chest and most likely cancerous. She couldn't breath and was extremely sick and we had no choice, but to put her to sleep and she crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge while I caressed her in my arms.
Soon after we got home I got this pic from my niece, Staci, on my cell phone.
9 days after this pic of Sandy, she passed away from lung cancer, on Sept 4, 2011 she took her last breath soon after midnight.
It's hard to believe she's gone almost 2 yrs. Life isn't the same without her!
I love you so much Sandy!
Singing
Sad to say, but Sandy has no singing voice and hated me for having one. She would know all the words to every single song and make me learn them so I could sing with her. She made me laugh all the time. Little memories like this made me think of her NOT so good voice-LOL!
