MY FAMILY MEMORIAL PAGE
Dedicated to the memory of Lenore and Bernard Kohn (my mom and brother)
This page is dedicated to the two people who have had the most impact on my life. My brother, Bernard, and my mother, Lenore. Click on their names to see an encapsulation of their lives and a brief description of how they recently passed away. I will miss both of them an I will always love them. In addition to an introduction to them are several links that I hope will help others deal with their grief and anxiety problems. I hope you find this page useful and will send me email with any ideas, suggestions,or criticisms you may have.
...and my late brother Bernie.
This is a verse sent to me by one of my favorite email friends,

"I am with you always"
by James Dillet Freeman
Do you need Me? I am there.
You cannot see Me, yet I am the light you see by.
You cannot hear Me, yet I speak through your voice.
You cannot feel Me,
yet I am the power at work in your hands.
I am at work, though you do not understand My ways.
I am at work, though you do not recognize My works.
I am not strange visions. I am not mysteries.
Only in absolute stillness, beyond self,
Can you know Me as I am,
and then but as a feeling and a faith.
Yet I am there. Yet I am here. Yet I answer.
When you need Me, I am there.
Even if you deny Me, I am there.
Even when you feel most alone, I am there.
Even in your fears, I am there.
Even in your pain, I am there.
I am there when you pray and when you do not pray.
Though your faith in Me is unsure,
My faith in you never wavers,
because I know you, because I love you.
Beloved, I am there.
Do you need Me? I am there.
You cannot see Me, yet I am the light you see by.
You cannot hear Me, yet I speak through your voice.
You cannot feel Me,
yet I am the power at work in your hands.
I am at work, though you do not understand My ways.
I am at work, though you do not recognize My works.
I am not strange visions. I am not mysteries.
Only in absolute stillness, beyond self,
Can you know Me as I am,
and then but as a feeling and a faith.
Yet I am there. Yet I am here. Yet I answer.
When you need Me, I am there.
Even if you deny Me, I am there.
Even when you feel most alone, I am there.
Even in your fears, I am there.
Even in your pain, I am there.
I am there when you pray and when you do not pray.
Though your faith in Me is unsure,
My faith in you never wavers,
because I know you, because I love you.
Beloved, I am there.
