Dear Barbara, Eddie, Rickie, and Debbie,
I was sorry to learn of the passing of your mother today. For your mother was someone that was always special to me and our family.
I have so many wonderful memories of your mother, and at the moment I'm trying to think what may have been the first. Which I really can't think of. But I'm sure it must have been in 1951 when the then family moved from Indiana to New Hyde Park.
Your mother was my mother's closest and dearest friend, and who my mother always looked forward to being with. I can remember just how happy both were to just be together. And as children, feeling that same joy and excitement that we were to young to understand. But still being there. Gathering that warmth your mother radiated. And letting that happiness they shared be part of our happiness too.
I remember New Hyde Park with great fondness and how my brother Bob and I looked forward to those visits. Life there was always fun, with your mother right up front encouraging it. Our running around. In and out of the house. Playing games. And then the hoping that we didn't have to go home.
It was also an era where families didn't make a lot of long distance phone calls. At least in our family, Those calls were like a telegram. "Hello." "I love you." And like a relay race the phone was handed off to the next. So it seemed that letters were always being written.
I can remember my mother sitting at her desk and writing her long letters to Dottie. And how it seemed to be being done with such gladness and anticipation. And at times, the reflections we saw could be different. But still without question. That of true friends. For in that quietness and private world life was being shared. Penning from the heart. Their wishes, whys, and deep feelings.
And with every letter there comes a mailman. And it seemed often. That moment when the mailman came to the door and we'd hear a sudden and bright shout of glee, "Oh! it's a letter from Dottie!"
My mother waited for those letters.
There never seemed to be a limit to your mother's kindness. And as a family we have much to be grateful to what your mother provided. For there were times when my mothers life had challenges, and I always felt that it was your mother's love and a caring that was able to guide my mother through those moments.
In many ways we depended upon your mother and didn't even know it.
And with that, with all gratefulness, I say "thank you."
So many memories are vibrant, but the last I'll mention is their dancing. If the music was playing, you knew the two would get up and start dancing together.
I always told people who didn't understand. That it was New York style.
So now with my sympathies to all,
"Toodles,"
with love,
and always the best,
Sean Hunter
