  1. Jim,

    Your mom was truly a wonderful woman. The “little” things that our moms had done for us when we were children stay with us forever. I will always cherish the trips I made with my mom, when I was a litle kid in the 50’s, to Woolworths or Sears Roebucks in Perth Amboy. She passed away on New Years Day, 1996, and I think of her everyday. She was pure Hungarian (‘splains my temperment! Heh) and I can still remember the smell of the wonderful meals she would cook for her family. She instilled the love of music, good food and manners to her only son. I thank her for that. When we are young, we often (with a “t”) don’t take the time to tell our moms how much we love them or how much we truly appreciate all they do for us. For those of you who still have you mom with you, take a moment today, Mother’s Day, to tell her how much she means to you. She, after all, gave you the most precious gift of all…life itself.

  2. Dear Hairboy…I’ve read that post of yours every year for at least the past two years, but now, after you and the Bodyguard actually took T & me to see that bridge, it means so much more. Margaret…zichrono l’vracha…may her memory be for a blessing.

  5. Your mom was a special woman indeed. As long as she is remembered with love, she’s never gone.

  6. That was an amazing piece on your Mom … and what a Mom she must of been, too.

    I raise my glass to her.

  7. I would hope that I would do what she did. We look back at our lives at the missed opportunities and think we’d have done things differently. That is an opportunity she didn’t miss.
