Mom it's hard to imagine that you are now gone and watching down on all of us. For me in all these years gone by I remember how hard you worked for myself, Helene and Olga. Life was not easy for each of us at one time or another, but we made it to the day when you left us. So glad I was able to see you this past Saturday while you were at Tolstoy nursing home, you were sleeping when I walked in, I said mom it's micha a few times then you opened you eyes and in Russian said I know. You closed you eyes once again. Thank you for that moment. I wish Polly could have seen you before you left, but she is now in long term care, so I need to stay strong to make sure that she is taken care of. Love you mom, miss you so much. your son Michael.
