I was tearful when I read this, Frieda, but felt deep joy as well for the opportunity to get to know your mother. I'm privileged for decades of friendship and sharing with you, always gentle, always wise. Heartfelt thanks.
Hi Mom! Thank you for taking the time to put this together. I know how much it means to our generation... to have this heartwarming tribute to an amazing woman that we get to claim as ours. <3 You wrote it beautifully. Thank you. I am proud to have her as my Grandmother and you as my mother! <3
Dearest cuz, what a courageous and strong hearted piece. And a gift for me to hear these stories of our intertwined and loving family with your mom at the helm. I don’t have all the words at hand to express all this means. But I’m grateful. ❤️Ellen
Dearest cuz Ellen, yes, I wrote it for you, and others. I do want my mother to be remembered well. I'm so thankful for the mom I had, and for all her extended, wonderful family.
Frieda, thank you for sharing such an incredible story of the love of an amazing mother and victory over the sad things that happen in our lives. I couldn’t stop reading this life journey and I am sure it will touch the hearts of many more people to come. Thank you.
Paul, thanks for your thoughts. We all have difficult experiences; its good to be able to come through in a way that may help others get through theirs. I do hope sharing mine, can help.
Thank You for sharing this, Frieda. Your mother was amazing in so many ways. Even tho my mother was the eldest, I know she admired and greatly respected her younger sister Helen. Blessings to you, Ruth, Bess & Suzie. 🙏🏽💜🙏🏽
Your mom was so special, no doubt about that. The amazing amount of love in your mom seemed to flow through and saturate the rest of the siblings. What a wonderful family.
Come on! I read every word and by the end was dabbing tears away from my eyes. Give a guy some warning, will ya? p.s. I love your writing style … and you. Steve
Thanks for reading every word....there were a few words. I couldn't bring myself to write less. Its about "my" mother, and there are billions of special mother stories in this world. Even so, I love her memory. I'm glad you were part of her life, and mine.
Beautifully written and very meaningful and emotional for me recalling so many you wrote about in this heartfelt piece. I loved learning more about your precious mom.
Btw, what is the Ponagation?

Sheva, as you know, you are the one who requested a story about your Grandma Helen. I'm so glad you pushed for this. You had a wonderful Grandma.
Lisa, isn't memory itself a wonderful gift! I'm so glad to share it. Thank you.
What a beautiful gift you have shared - the gift of your memories.
Beautifully written. Proud to share her name as well as her odd elbows. What an incredible heritage of strong women I come from.
Kirti Helen, yes, your name carries her legacy, which is so special and unique. You can be proud...but always be strong. Don't forget the Ponagation.
