MY HEART, MY SOUL, MY LIFE
To love someone long-term is to attend a thousand funerals of the people they used to be.
The people they're too exhausted to be any longer.
The people they don't recognize inside themselves anymore.
The people they grew out of, the people they never ended up growing into.
We so badly want the people we love to get their spark back when it burns out; to become speedily found when they are lost.
But it is not our job to hold anyone accountable to the people they used to be.
It is our job to travel with them between each version and to honor what emerges along the way.
Sometimes it will be an even more luminescent flame.
Sometimes it will be a flicker that disappears and temporarily floods the room with a perfect and necessary darkness
(H. Priebe)
Your husband, your love, your friend ---Lan

To my wonderful mother in law, I’m going to miss you more than you will ever know. I’ll miss our love for Columbo, Castle, Wheel of Fortune. You always made me smile. You made everyone smile. You were the kindest, most caring person I’ve ever met and it was an honor being your daughter in law. Love you so much xo

My heart is truly broken. Anita & I go way back. Anita you were a wonderful mother, wife, sister, Yaya, aunt, godmother, sister in law & friend.

Now your suffering is over & I pray to God to give your family & friends the strength to now go on without you. You will be terribly missed. May you Rest In Eternal Peace in the arms of the angels! Watch over your family as you have now gained your wings and are their Guardian Angel. Fly High my friend

Anita, you were my 1st childhood friend. I have many great memories of growing up on east 24th street and ave T. We lived outdoors and played all kinds of games, stoop ball, Johnny on the pony, hopscotch, red light green light and many others. We went with my grandfather to the 65 world's fair, palisades, NYC and other fun places. We would make snow forts, sled down the hill, go shopping on Avenue U,and eat alot of junk from Esters candy store. We would get italian ices from the pizzeria after playing
with all the other kids till it got dark out in the summer We had a lot of fun!
I'm sorry that we did not keep in touch for many years until Facebook came along.
My deepest sympathy to your family. I hope they will enjoy some of these photos. May you rest in peace. Until we meet up again

Mom,Yama,Maya...
I will miss you dearly. Your love and light will never have a measure. You were a force to be reckoned with we all knew that clearly. You were the one that pulled our family all together. Thoughts of you giving me crap and taking care of your grandkids I will always treasure forever..
Thank you for your all so special relationship with Philip your chacha pop. It was a gift to see. Helping him be the best Philip he can be.
Thank you for the gift of Katie.because of you she gave me an amazing family.
It took me almost 14 years to figure out the clue.
shes almost as stubbroun as you.
You will live on in her and in your children. They are all strong and amazing because of your love you had given.
You will always be so dear and special to me. I will alway treasure the time we moved in and just you and I watch late night Jeopardy.
I will never see another episode and not think of you.
The answer is :
who is giving all of us $hite.
The question was what is Anitas gift..
I loved you as I loved my own mother. You gave me a Grannndpa, a wife a sister and a brother.
Mom I could go on and on
But as Grandpa/Katie knows
If theres anything I can do..
As to quote George Carlin...
I not mowing Gerorge and Bridgetts lawn..
I love you mom and say so long is always rough. I promise to raise your Yakids with as much love and determination and make them tough.
Im glad when you were here.
I ALWAY TOLD YOU I LOVE YOU EVERY TIME I SAW YOU I COULDNT SAY IT ENOUGH.
FLY WITH ANGELS MOM..
My, our love slways..
the son that you never asked for but the son you helped make better..
Phil
