MOM,

There are no words that can explain on how I feel inside, I miss you each and every day, and sometimes I want to hide. There are things in life I want to share, with my mother, my best friend. But all I have are memories, and that of course won’t end. Someday mom, we will meet again, for this I am very sure. And when that day comes for me, I’m sure you’ll be at the door. You taught me a lot through out my life, and to stand on my own feet. You lifted me up when I was down, and did stuff that was neat. I will never forget the times we shared, and how you made me smile. And know in my heart that this time apart is only for a little while. And if memories are all I have, I will cherish them the most. Because still with me going through life is my mother’s ghost. I LOVE YOU MOM !!!!!!!!!

Love you and miss you
Debbie

Over in Killarney
Many years ago,
Me “father” sang a song to me
In tones so sweet and low.
Just a simple little ditty,
In his good old Irish way,
And I’d give the world if he could sing
That song to me this day.

Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, hush now don’t you cry.
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, that’s an Irish lullaby

Oft in dreams I wander,
To that cot again,
I feel his arms a-huggin me,
As when he held me then.
And I hear his voice a hummin
To me as in days of yore,
When he use to rock me fast asleep
Outside the cabin door.

Oh Dad… I miss you so.

The light of Sam will shine for a long, long time.

In astronomy, the light of a star continues long after that star ceases to shine. As long as even one astronomer can see it, the light of the star will shine for a long, long time as it traverses the universe. In this way the star, long after its source has spent its energy, lives on as one of the many observable starlets and constellations.

Sam has held several generations of starlets on his lap, such as Rubin, who is named after his great grandfather star, as well as Matthew and Thane. Before expending all of his energy, Sam listened, proudly, to his starlets Kim and Debbie announce the future light of two more possibly prominent stars.

And the Light of Sam expands beyond his own immediate starlets, whose influence spans the nation among the fields of economics, engineering, medicine, law, and the movie arts.

Also, Sam was entwined with other constellations. He volunteered for many years as an ambulance paramedic, and volunteered for another many years at Tanglewood as a first-aid attendant. No doubt there were additional lives that he helped save — to continue many other generations of their own.

Yes, the Light of Sam will shine for a long, long time.

Good Night, Irene (Ad Infinitum)

Good Night Irene – e, Good Night Irene,
N’Mater – What – Y’Trouble – Seems,
W’ll See You – In Our Dreams.

Perhaps the fragment of the above song is finite,
And only remembered by Irene’s generation.
But Irene loved all the songs of her generation,
As well as all the classical immortal music as well.
In fact, she helped others enjoy the universality
Of Music
By offering her services for many years
As an usher in Tanglewood Concerts.

One of her classical favorites
Was the immortal music of Mozart,
But like many mortals, however,
Mozart made serious trouble for himself.
Many other creative composers,
And scientists, and all those others
Of all walks of life, including Irene,
Also made trouble for themselves.
What finite mortal does not have and make problems?

But mortal, finite, Irene, however, also created
A heritage of immortal, infinite compositions
— Her three children
Who in turn created families – of credit to society;
Hopefully, ad infinitum.

One very personal love of Irene
Was her Yiddishkeit: her love of Yiddish culture.
She translated the Yiddish diary of Sam’s Mother
Into a family-tree book.
And devoted her last years
To creating and leading Yiddish culture groups.

So, Good Night Irene – e, Good Night Irene,
N’Matter – What – Y’Trouble – Seems,
W’ll See You – In Our Dreams
