Brooklyn Back When - Open Thread

Joe - my sincerest condolences. It's very hard losing a parent (no matter how old you are) - remember the good times (and the bad too) and know she's out of pain and with all her loved ones who went before her. May she rest in peace.

SOMETIMES A LITTLE HUMOR HELPS

Hi Everyone- just a note to say Hi and wish everyone a Happy Easter! Today's very quiet at work so I'm hoping to be able to get out early. Enjoy Easter everyone.

Hello All -

Joe - again, my heart and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.

As I told you this morning, I asked God if he will personally take my Faith
up to heaven on Sunday morning. HE said YES! Now I'll ask him if your mom can join them. She'll have a special angel with her.




MY FRIENDS - hope you are all hanging in there. I have come to
realize that I can't be the kind of great blog-buddy you all are. There's
no way I can keep up with you --- to wish - 'happy' grandchildren's birthdays, first-time dance recitals, graduations, etc. etc.

So I feel inadequate here. Just want to make that comment since it's been on my mind. Don't want to be disrespectful or miss an opportunity to wish you well, or to console. I just can't read this everyday and keep up with you all. So I am apologizing now...

HOWEVER, it doesn't mean that I do not pray for you all, daily - and pray for whatever your wishes and needs are, at the time!

Love & Blessings,

"Absentee Blogger-Friend"
Whose heart is always
here, even when I am not!!!

that comment, I was feeling like I wasn't, or just can't - hold my end
up like you all!!!!

OH NO - I am not a Savarese, even though I did have relatives with
the same name. I was good friends with Nancy Savarese, at the time Joannie mentioned she lived on 23rd St., and she 'knew' me.

That is the same time we hung with Paul's wife - Ellen Pizzini, DeeDee
Schiralli.... and that 'gang'

P.S: Paul I watched the Dog Wisperer yesterday - you are much more
good looking than he.

Hi gang.

Suzie, I am taking the kitten with me, lol. Don't want to come home and find it missing since I leave the window open for the cats.

Hi Franny. Miss you. Email me your phone number. Helen lived between 6th & 7th, across from me.

OK, everyone left before I got to post, wahhhhhhhhhhhh !! Geri still has her computer disconnected so she can't get online until she finishes the room and re-connects all the wires.
