Dear Mom Today May 19-2025 I'm in your bed holding the last dog you left in our hearts to take care of that you entrusted us to do. To love her as much as we could. She was on your lap almost 24/7. We know we could never do as good a job as you but we promised to do our best. Mom we are . She's being loved and taken care by us all. Sure she's getting on soon to be 13, yes she has some health issues. But they are the same you left with. So I'm here only for awhile as you know what's going on. I'm begging you with G-d please make things better with some health issues in the family. I'm begging you watch over all of us. Mom today is 2 years since you went to heaven and said see you later. Still seems like yesterday . Your supposed to be here. I still don't know how fast things changed. Mom everyday I miss the calls ,the hugs. I miss you. Things are getting pretty tough without you. If I could blink my eyes and have you back I would in a minute. I would do anything to turn back time , but I know I can't. But you promised you would always be watching over us. I'm holding you to that , just as you had me make promises I always kept. So mom know today along with every other day you have family and friends all over the world missing you. As I've said before you will never be forgotten . You will always be missed. Hope heaven is what you visioned it would be. Hope your with who you missed. Till next time. Love always and forever and even after that love Your Rita π©·πͺ»π¦ππͺ¬π«ΆπΆπ« - Posted by: Rita (Daughter) on: May 19, 2025

May 15/25 Hi mom this one is an amazing happy moment in time.I know how proud you are. Today I felt you with us as you were there from the beginning when she started. Today you were there watching as a proud Baba and a proud mom. Yup convocation happened but you already were there before we were . You saw from beginning to end . Now a new beginning. Now both your grandchildren that were such a huge part of your heart and always will be. The eldest today has finally gotten to the end of all the hard work. Now she starts a new chapter a new beginning. I watched your youngest son beaming with pride and your daughter in-law right by his side beaming together. Mom they did a great job raising those girls ,now women who were already making a huge difference in the world.Today again have added another huge difference. One will help shape the lives of little human beings, the other will be saving them and taking care of their medical needs. I'm a proud auntie as I've always been. Today I got the honor of again seeing more of what I and you already knew. She will make a mark on this world they both will in the end of time leave legacies of great importance. Mom you are and were apart of that and always will be. I'll do my Best to show up and be there for both. Today I saw 2 sister's close and there for eachother. You saw that as well. What a proud day for all. Please mom watch over them with G-d and all the family. You will always be apart of everything I know you'll always show up.Love always and forever and even after that your Ritaπ₯π₯Όπ©Ίπ¦ππͺ»π©·π«π love you lots. - Posted by: Rita Nimchonok (Daughter) on: May 16, 2025

May 11/25 Happy Heavenly Mother's Day Mom. Well things sure have been really going bad as you can see since you've been in heaven. We weren't meant to be without you here. Please mom you know right now we really need you & G-d to give us a helping hand. We just can't lose anyone again right now. It still seems like yesterday you went. I just can't get caught up because so much keeps going wrong. But one thing that hasn't changed your my first thought still to call in the morning and the last call to say I love you at night.. Old habits hard to break. But maybe this is a lifetime one for me. A huge graduation that you physically should of been here for. I know you'll be there but really I know your smiles are ear to eat in the grad pictures for your granddaughters. I'll have that in my head when watching. You the proud Baba always have been always will be from heaven to. Miss you so much Mom love always and forever and even after that. Love YOUR Rita. We're supposed to be going out having a drive and a treat. I hope your going to do it with baba your mom. Love you lots. See ya laterπͺ½πͺ½πππ©·πͺ»ππ¦π΅πΆ.yup you see Mandy is still here being loved.π - Posted by: Rita (Daughter) on: May 10, 2025

Hi mom, I know you must of been at a seder table enjoying who you are with. Because you get to decide now. I know the food will be out of this world, no pun intended. But mom you see I just can't this year. Things are just happening that I can't get a grasp on how to come up with someway to fix like I used to. Please mom you see what's been happening even more lately . Please watch over with G-d and please help things get better. This is to long to be this hard. I'm trying but I'm exhausted from pain, different ones. Mom I miss you so much. I hope you feel my hugs and see my tears all the way to the heavens beautiful fluffy clouds. Love always & forever & even after that your Ritaππππ¦πͺ»ππΆ - Posted by: Rita (Daughter) on: Apr 13, 2025

Hi mom well can't believe it. Things just won't get better. Just really kinda keep getting worse if I'll be honest. But the one thing that hasn't changed is how much I miss you and how much I love you. Probably even more at this time. So I'm about to try go to sleep and I'm of course still thinking that when I wake. I would have called to wish you a Happy Valentines Day. I would be bringing a treat and spend some time and get my hugs in. I hope you come in my sleep and maybe have a chat with me to help me with everything I need to understand as you can give me those answers now please. Because you're an angel now in heaven. I hope your with all who you wanted to be with for valentines they are very lucky to spend it with you. Please mom keep watching over the family keep everyone hear happy, safe and healthy including helping your little Mandy. Sending you a great big hug and kiss. With so much love. Miss you mom.

Hi mom well its that time again. We got together for chanukah, Xmas, and my bday. I'm missing you like crazy!! I hope you celebrated with all who you wanted to be with for the holidays, I'm sure you were a blast with all. Today is my bday you would always be my 1st bday call. You stayed up while making my bday cake you made my entire life. So when it started without that call again well you we spoke in our way you know. Not having your cake is going to be really hard. But the family is trying to keep the tradition for you. If I could have anything in the world right now it would be you back here hugging me and us together. I know one day we'll be back again. Please mom never forget me that's a fear of mine. I need to know one day when its my time you'll be there with G-d to grab my hand. I live every day in pain without you. You already know that too. I'm so grateful for the family being together. You were definitely there and apart of everything. You always will be. Your memories you made we talk about you will always have the legacy of what you did live on. I'll write after I'm just really missing you. Sam larissa taylor jordynn fred Mandy & dilly too. Sure did a great thing making me feel loved as they all know how I love them to. Love always and forever and even after that love YOUR RITA. πππ©·π₯Ίππͺ½πͺ½π¦πͺ»π΅πΆLove you lots.

Hi mom, I know you see & read all that is written to you. I try to put in both your tributes. But I really had a tough day. Today is Nov. 20/24, yesterday was Nov. 19/2024, it was 1 1/2 years since you said see ya later, you then went to heaven got your angel wings, fast I bet. I actually got my covid shot yesterday since you know the day after your funeral I woke with it very sick. Larissa running to each of us trying so hard to help. When she was missing you too. I was sick alone but you know some really great friends came to the door knowing I needed a hug, I was so worried they would catch it. I masked, they showered right after to try also to get me through. Life just isn't going well, I miss you like crazy. I'm so worried about everyone & everything. I'm so hoping you're with many that you were excited to see again. I'm praying when the time comes you'll come to get me with God. I really am wanting to see Taylor & Jordynn, do so much more in life. I want to be there for them. I want to see my family thrive and my really good special friends and you know the cousins who have been trying since beginning to help me Also. So mom please know in the rain yesterday that I know you love so much, I was thinking of you all day. I think of you everyday. I hope one day I can stop crying when I talk about you and tell about the great things you did for our family. Such a strong intelligent beautiful hard working mom and hard working but loved your work taking care of so many in the first Sharon home after Simkin Centre. I will and the family keep your legacy of going forever. You have so many. The holidays are coming I'm in bad shape but really want so bad to try my traditional stuff. But now one tradition is no more. I'll have to wait till heaven for my bday cake you made my lifetime. Please mom help us with God get through & live like you want us to. Love always and forever and even after that love your Rita. Mandy is missing you so much but Fred & all of us are trying so hard to keep her here longer.

Mom today is bittersweet. On May 25/2023 was your funeral. I got covid the next day when we had been so careful & made it through the height of the pandemic. We had to do a lot of firsts with you physically not here now. But I know you are watching over and you read all that is written. So on May 25/2024 1 year after your funeral. You now have a plaque in your honor @ the Humane Society. Sam moved mountains as he did & still does as Larissa did & does for us to still, as we are ALWAYS FAMILY. We Fred, Rita Sam, Larissa, Taylor, Jordynn & Mandy all were together to put your plaque up. Your plaque is now in the donations office thanks to the kindness of Sharon who is with the Humane Society. So if anyone wants to go see your plaque & say hi & maybe give a donation small or large all helps all appreciated as you asked in your honor. So we now have gotten through yours and our firsts. There will be many more special things in the future but we know you'll be watching over us. I miss you like crazy, you're my 1st thought when I wake & my last when I go to sleep. You always will be. Everyone misses you as you know. Mandy yes to. We're loving on her and trying to keep her around for many more years. If you could please help us help her that would be great. We know you're our forever angel. Please keep the family together safe happy & Healthy.

Mom today I awoke as usual first I fell asleep thinking of you. Wanting to call you still to say I love you goodnight. But instead I spoke to you as I always do hoping you heard me in heaven. I'm really struggling missing you. I'm really trying to make what wishes were to happen as the rest of the family is to. Today is 11 months. Yet still it's like yesterday. This heart ache is never ending. I'm praying, as another first comes passover than mother's day the last day I got to come spend time with you in your home on the sofa doing our usual. Than the next day I took you to the hospital never to come home days later we were all with you saying see you later. Everyone has been there for me, I'm trying my best to be for them. But today is 11 months and still it seems like yesterday. I just woke and still want to call you to say I love you. I still did tell you but I spoke to you I know you heard in heaven. I know you're watching over us because of things that have happened. But mom I'm missing you like crazy. You're with some of our friends who just came not long ago I know your loving being with all our animals. Mandy misses you I can tell. We're taking good care of her as you can see. Not the same as you but sure trying. So on this 11th month I say love always and forever and even after that YOUR Ritaππ. YOU'RE MY ANGEL FOREVER I KNOW YOU GOT YOUR WINGS RIGHT AWAYππͺ½ please mom keep watching over all of us, keep us healthy and safe. I'm heart broken. - Posted by: Rita nimchonok (Daughter ) on: Apr 19, 2024

Mom it's another first. No it hasn't gotten any easier. Today was Valentines Day as you know. Usually we would of done something. That's just what we did. So I went to get hugs and do my thing with the family. But you were my first thought and my last before sleep. I still spent time with you, but it shouldn't have been in the way we did. No hug this year. But my heart will always be full of love for you. I miss you like crazy. I know your watching over me from heaven. Your watching over all of us I know. But I just miss you so much but I know I had to get through this another first. I'm trying my best.

Mom I cried watched the ball drop. If we weren't together, than we would be each at our homes in bed watching. Than just before one of us would be the first call. I wanted to call so bad. I cried I new you wouldn't answer. This was another first. Just had my bday and holidays. Nothing will ever be the same. Time has not made it easier. I miss you every day. But again not getting your call the first of 2024. Felt horrible. I hope you got to Celebrate in heaven with everyone who you missed and loved. But remember mom, We love and miss you too. You're missed and loved so much. One day we'll ring in the new year in together again. Please always remember me.. I love you and I'll never forget you. Please don't forget me. This is really hard feels like it's hard to breathe. You brought me life. I am really having a hard time not kissing you and getting those hugs. Please come in my sleep and just hold me a again. I'll always want and need that. Love always and forever and even after that your Rita. - Posted by: Rita (Daughter ) on: Jan 01, 2024

Mom tonight the family was together. They gave me such a precious gift. But I don't know how to do this first bday without you here on earth. I know your in heaven and watching over us all. But my heart is aching just to make you a call. I miss you like crazy. Though you have shown, you've been watching over I know by what you've done. So please mom help me get through this another first without you hugging, holding, and giving me a kiss . When I awake you would of been my first call .Now things are different please mom come talk in my sleep. That would be the best bday gift of all. So I know you'll be there watching over me and the family. But I miss you mom especially on this another first. I hope your happy in heaven and in no pain. Running around with all our animals again. Love always and forever and even after that your Rita. See you in my dreams I pray. - Posted by: Rita nimchonok (Daughter ) on: Dec 25, 2023

Mom it's night time. Tomorrow when I wake Nov 19/23 it will be half a year since you went to heaven. To me still again it's like yesterday. I miss you so much the pain is horrible of a broken heart. I know you got your angel wings soon as you came to G-d in heaven. I hope your getting so much love from family and all our animals with you. I still wake everyday your my first thought. Your my last when I try to go to sleep. I know you want me to live life. But just as my physical pain was bad before you left it's gotten worse. I don't know if life will just always be like this forever now. Physical horrible pain and now emotional grief everyday. I never thought I would have to live without you. I tried everything I could my entire life to keep you happy and healthy. I feel like I failed you. I pray when my time comes in the future that you will remember me and the love we had. That you will fly over with your angel wings and G-d to grab me in your arms , which I miss so much the hugs we did. I miss everything about you. Please mom come in my sleep talk to me as I do you. Life is so much harder now. I'm trying my best . I still wish this was a horrible nightmare I'm in and someone will wake me and we'll all be alive back together. Yes mom I'm still that dreamer. Missing you and loving you like crazy. I really tried my best. Don't forget me please. Love Always and forever and even after that. Your Ritaππ - Posted by: Rita Nimchonok (Daughter) on: Nov 18, 2023

Mom today is 5 months since you left on your next journey . I hope you found the joy you were looking forward to in heaven. Your peaceful way you said who you were looking forward to seeing. Telling me over and over stop being so emotional you'll always be watching. We just had some of the firsts with you not at the table. But that was just your body because I know you were with to enjoy your special treat. Everyday I wake your the first thing I think. I've had to learn not to pick up the phone, our routine has been broken. So now a couple more firsts still to come. Those ones will be the hardest to be done. I'll try always to remember you said your going to be here watching. Missing you like it was yesterday. Still hurting like crazy. Love always and forever and even after that love your Rita forever. - Posted by: Rita (Daughter ) on: Oct 20, 2023

Mom I know you know. Because of the love of the family you brought together. They knowing how I would be broken. Let me speak last. Yes I'm grateful for that and for them giving me strength to do the right thing for you with them in the end. You took your last car ride with me though I thought you should of gone by ambulance. You wanted me to so I did as I always did what you wanted . We all were with you at the end . But I was again blessed to be the one holding kissing you good bye after you passed. Yes mom Larissa was there helped me escort you to leave. You brought me in this world. I was there when you left. We will do as you wanted and continue being close and there for each other. Traditions you helped form, will be continued and I know you'll be there as our angel. Miss you more by the second mom. Love always and forever and even after that.
