Hard to believe that is going on one year. Much has happened since you left, pretty much all for the good, and would make you happy. I miss you every day.

Happy Passover Mom! I certainly missed your rousing refrains of 'daienu,' but felt and knew you were next to me throughout the entire Seder. Keep working on our behalf up above!

Happy Passover, grandma. I miss you so. I remember that although I miss you as my grandmother and friend, I am so lucky that now you are my angel.
