Two years, my darlings. Two years and it still hurts just as much as it did then. There's not much more that I can say that I haven't already said, cried and wailed. I love you both, and I pray you are at peace. Love, Mommy

I'm missing my darling girls this Mother's Day weekend. And I know your children are missing you too. Remember what it was like in school, they always had arts and crafts, and teas and performances, all for the moms. But your kids, they have no one. No moms to sing to, to give flowers to. How horrible is that? I could barely get through today in work as I kept hearing everyone wish each other Happy Mother's Day. They just tiptoed past my cubicle. I'm still furious with you both and if there is an afterlife and I can kick your proverbial butts, you've got it coming. Ah well, I love you always, my babies.

Dear Mel & Jess,
I just wanted to see your names, to write your names. I think about you both every day. I miss you every day. I have nothing pithy or sweet or creative to say; I just miss you and wish you were here. Monday was the anniversary of your father's death. And I think of him everyday, too, as you know. I pictured you all together, all young and beautiful, laughing. I hope there is another plane of existence and that you are truly all together again.
I love you, baby girls.
xoxo

Well, my darlings, time goes on and here it is May already. Guess what? This weekend is Mother's Day. The headstone is up at the cemetery and your picture faces the cherry blossom trees there. I'm planning to take the little ones there for their first visit, and I pray that God gives me the strength to get through that. I have no idea how they will react. I've asked Dawn to have the boys draw some pictures for you and I will ask Nina to do the same. We'll grab some flowers too. Autumn says she will come by the cemetery on Sunday. This weekend is her Junior Prom. Jessica, I cannot believe you are going to miss this. Melanie, you would have loved to be there to see her too. Remember how we made such a big production out of your proms? We put out buffet dinners, invited families, took pictures. Happy times. How bittersweet will this be for Autumn? And speaking of Mother's Day, well, how can I celebrate this now that I have no children?

I'd hoped that with time I would get "better" and cry less. Actually I've never really busted out and had a massive crying jag. But, I know it sounds silly, I leak all the time. I'm always RIGHT on the edge of crying, and it only takes one tiny thing to set me off. Like, if a customer asks me how I'm doing, I'll just get all choked up, but if I hear a song on the radio that relates to either of you in any way, I am toast. The guys in our warehouse play the radio and I hear so many of your songs that I'm amazed I get through the day. I bet Axl Rose never thought someone would break down and cry over "Sweet Child O' Mine" and ditto for Anthony Kiedis. The kids make me crazy in the car, demanding to hear the Red Hot Chili Peppers CD that you left there. There was a time when it was cute to have you all singing together, but not now. I just have to get through each song.

Melanie, your friend Jen has really jumped in to help with the boys. I'm so grateful to her for all her help. Because I've become a total weakling. I remind me of Nana when she got older. So Jen does the physical stuff for me when we're out with the little ones. And how the boys are growing! Dmitri is playing flag football and Gabriel is getting ready for his gymnastics show. Next year they are starting full day kindergarten up there, so Gabriel will go there and Dmitri will enter first grade. Maybe he will have an art exhibition before then, who knows? He's so talented. Kirsten got her degree from nursing school! She worked like a dog and put herself through, and now she's good to go. Eric moved in with Tom and me for a while, and we love having him here. I've not talked to Vincey lately, but he was working and enjoying himself in the Italian place in Conshy.

Jessica, Autumn went to Interboro's prom 2 weeks ago, and she was so gorgeous. She also made honor roll again, that's our smart girl!! You would be so proud. As I mentioned, she's going to her own prom this weekend. I'm sure she will be just as stunning. And Nina, wow that little girl is a firecracker! Smart as a whip, and she knows every song on the radio. Autumn and I love to hear her sing. Last week we were in the car together and that song from Pitch Perfect came on, you know, it's called "Cups," and Nina and I sang it together.
So that's where we are. I miss you both so terribly, with every ounce of my being. I think of you constantly and get up during the night because I think I smell your perfume, or hear you call me.
I love you, my babies. And Happy Mother's Day.
PS. I apologize, I had to do this tribute in multiple pieces.

Thinking about you all the time; dreaming about you, too. Picturing you saying "Aunt Cavill" instead of "Aunt Carol" when you were little, Mel. And Jess, I miss your hoarse, throaty voice and wish I could hear it now. You said we sounded alike with different accents.
It's almost spring. It is lighter outside later into the evening, and, despite the snow that's still piled up, the air is getting warmer. Wish you were here to experience it.
Little crazy things are affecting me. One of my friends was talking about her aunt the other day. "I'm her only niece," she said. The words "aunt" and "niece"—innocuous little words; they're triggers now. I wish you were here to roll your eyes and say, "Oh my God, STOP!" at that comment. Miss you girls so, so very much xoxo

My darlings: It's been a month already and I still cannot believe you're both gone from my life. Oh my God, why did this have to happen? My two beautiful girls. Just gone like that. Will this ever get better? Will I ever not feel my heart torn in little pieces every day? Wherever I turn there are things that remind me of you. Could be a commercial, a song, oh yes, always a song, can you believe I could not get away from the Red Hot Chili Peppers on the radio today? I turned it on and "Under the Bridge" was playing. I flipped stations after that and "Californication" was on. I was afraid to flip again but I did and there was yet another song, "Give It Away." It's so hard to listen to these songs and know that you're not there to sing them. I'm so sad that you are already missing so much of your children's lives. Autumn is prom dress shopping without your guidance, Jessica. She wants you to be there for her, she loved your fashion sense and valued your opinion. Nina is going to be in a talent show this week, singing Taylor Swift. How could you miss that? I pray that somewhere, you are watching over the girls. And Melanie, Dmitri got an awesome report card. And he's still in his shirt and tie phase. You should have seen him on Valentine's Day in his red shirt and striped tie. The girls were swooning! And Gabriel...he is really advanced in his gymnastics class. He gets to do things the older boys do because of his amazing arm strength. Remember how we played at the playground and called him our American Ninja Warrior? All that arm strengthening paid off! And Melanie, how about Kirsten, almost finished putting herself through nursing school, isn't she amazing? I know how much you wanted to see her again. Vincey is doing his best Top Chef at his gig in Conshohocken. Eric is steady plugging away at his job, what a hard worker he is. Please watch over them, too. They loved you so much. And remember how much Tom and I love you both. There is so much here that reminds us of you. I love you, my girls. Always.

They say there is a reason,
They say that time will heal,
But neither time nor reason,
Will change the way I feel,
No-one knows the heartache,
That lies behind my smile,
No-one knows how many times,
I have broken down and cried,
I want to tell you something,
So there won't be any doubt,
You're both so wonderful to think of,
But so hard to be without.

To my beloved beautiful girls: Here it is Valentine's Day, and normally I would have cards and a heart shaped box of chocolates for you. But nothing is normal now. Instead of buying you chocolates, I was out buying a headstone. My God, I miss you so much! I push myself every day to just go on living, and it feels forced, like I'm not really supposed to be doing this. At work, I feel guilty for going on as if my job was the most important thing in the world and it isn't. I feel as if I should be sitting on the side of my bed, clutching my sides and sobbing my heart out, and then I feel guilty if I'm not. The pain in my heart is so bad, and it's not getting better. It's a palpable emptiness, as if a part of me is missing. And it is! I don't know if you ever realized just how much I love you. I don't know if **I** ever realized the depth of my love for you until now. Every day I wish I could go back, wake up on January 23rd, and change everything somehow. Keep you home, block the door, whatever I would have to do. I was hoping to do some baking with you that night. The stuff I bought that night is still here. We were going to bake things for the kids and have fun with them that weekend. Well, it is 4:30 am and I'm babbling. I just need to tell you how much I love and miss you both. I love you, my babies.

My dear little "monkeys,"
It's been two weeks and two days since your mom called me sobbing. I picked up the phone, and she asked me, crying, if I was sitting down. My reaction was to scream and wail no, no, no, no, don't say it, don't tell me! And the voice I heard wailing came from some other level of my consciousness. I felt it hurting my gut. I knew it had to be one of you. But in my worst nightmare, I never thought this would be the news. In those horrible first seconds, I imagined an accident, intensive care--something awful, but this is beyond what the human brain can absorb.
We hadn't seen each other for some time, and though it's a cliche to say "in my heart," you both always, always were and always will be. You were a part of me, not just by blood, but by soul.
I took my dog for a walk in the snow today, and as I looked around, and up at the sky, I was thinking that you'll never see the snow again, you'll never see the sky, you won't get excited because spring is in the air, or go to the shore in the summer. I am not thinking it's unfair, though it is. I am thinking it's *unfathomable.*
At your funeral, I spent a lot of time looking at you. I wanted to see you so badly, but what I was seeing would not--and still does not--compute. I am not in denial. I know it happened. But it just will not register--like typing a text or an email and then "send" doesn't work.
When you both were younger, and from the time you were old enough to talk, we used to talk about *everything.* I loved the questions you would ask (usually), and always tried to answer in a way that you would understand. Sometimes they were silly questions, sometimes really deep, and sometimes just fun.
One of the fun things we talked about, a number of times, was our age differences. Mel, when you were 6 or 7, it occurred to you that I wasn't as "old" as some other people's aunts or uncles were. I remember you asking, "How old will you be when I'm 20?" and it was 31. "How about when I'm 27?" 38. We went through a lot of random numbers and laughed. "But when you're a hundred and fifty, I'll only be a hundred and sixty-one." Such silliness and so poignant now.
I have been sleeping erratically, for fear of the dreams I will have. I've already had several, and then wake up at 3 or 4 am and am thankful for my little book light. Then I realize that the reality of what happened to you is worse than any of the dreams. Worse than you getting lost in a tidal wave, or melting into quicksand.
I'll say your names in my mind, Melanie, Jessica, and think, "Melanie and Jessica are gone. Melanie and Jessica died. My baby girls are not on this earth. My nieces are gone."
When you were younger, you were always "the kids." "The kids are coming to sleep over" or "How are the kids doing in school?" But when your names were mentioned, each name was rarely said without the other, it was like one word: "melandjess."
The only tiny semblance of comfort is that you were together, and will always be together. But there really is no comfort for those who are aching for you, especially your children and your mom. I hope there is another plane of existence. If there is, and if you have any "say," I know you will give some comfort and strength to them and to all those--and there are many--who love you.
I will love you forever, and you will always be my little monkeys. Love, Aunt Carol xoxo

To my dearest daughters: Here it is, 2 weeks from the night you passed. After work I went to the supermarket, just as I did that night. I could barely get through the market without a panic attack, remembering that night, that terrible phone call. I sit here now, looking at your photo, your beautiful loving smiles, and I miss you SO BADLY!!! I try to get through my days at work and I'm fine til anyone says something about you. Then I am gone. How do mothers get through this? This is just not supposed to happen. Look at you two. Look how pretty you are. Look at the legacy you left in your children. But don't look at me. Because I am a total mess. I pray that you are at peace, content, wherever you are. I love you, my baby girls.

My dear sweet darlings: Now that the "party" is over and everyone came to pay their respects, suddenly it's all over. They move on with their lives, go on living, chat about other stuff on Facebook. But what about me, huh? Here I am, my heart is pouring on the floor for you. I would give ANYTHING in the world to go back 2 weeks and stop this madness. My grief, my love for you both, is a palpable thing. My arms ache to hug you again. I feel that I've failed you. Sitting through the tributes at the viewing, I heard people talking about how nice I was. Maybe that was how I seemed. Maybe I just wasn't nice enough and this is my punishment, having you both torn from me. I spent the day yesterday with the 3 little ones, and they are just so confused. You can see it in their faces. Where's mom? Where's my MOTHER? They don't want ME to take them out for the day. They want their MOM!! I'm just a very poor substitute. But I'm their only link now to their moms. Isn't that awful? An old woman taking the place of these beautiful, vibrant young ladies? I don't know how I am going to ever go on again. It's said that there are phases one goes through when grieving, and I don't know if I'm still in the anger phase, I'm certainly past denial since I stood there for hours seeing people I haven't seen in 25 years telling me how sorry they were for my loss. No, denial is gone. Anger, oh yeah. Sadness? In spades. I never thought I'd feel anything like this. On a scale of 1 to 10, it's off the charts. I could have open heart surgery without anesthesia and it wouldn't even come close to what I feel. You girls were my life. My God, I miss you both.

Jess, how can this be real. It's not fair. None of it is fair. You're such a great person, how could this happen. You're so beautiful, inside and out. Your wonderful soul will live on forever. Your smile lights up a room and that's one of the great features you've passed down to Autumn and Nina. You were just so free and didn't care about what anyone thought, you didn't judge anyone wrongly and you always looked for the good in every situation. You are are so creative and understanding, you're my musical and artistic inspiration. When I create art or listen to music, I find myself thinking "I wonder if Jess would like this", or "I hope Jess would be proud of this." I even started my Anthony Kiedis painting with the mindset of giving it to you. When I sent you a picture of it, you loved it and I'm so happy because I feel like you really appreciated it. You offered to pay me money for it, I'd never accept it but it is now forever dedicated to you. I remember when I basically lived at your house. You always gave Autumn and I great advice on boys, girls, fashion, makeup, and just life in general. You're so intelligent. I remember when you dyed my hair purple, and also when you tried to give me a kitten but my mom would not have it. One New Year's Eve I told you my mom said it was okay to have some wine but it wasn't. We all miss you so much, but we'll always remember the beautiful, smart, and goofy moments we've had with you. I love you forever Jess.

Jess,
I never got to meet you despite Nina wanting it to happen. Right behind this happened I was just about to extend the olive branch by giving you something I'd gotten as a gift that I couldn't ever use, but Nina said you absolutely would. Despite never having laid eyes on each other Nina is still our connection. I will look out for her to the best of my ability. She loved you more than I can possibly express and my heart aches for this bond that is now broken. Please watch over your baby girl.

To my beautiful daughters: It's been hard for me this past week to go beyond "Why? WHY??" I'm reading all these loving memories and tributes, and I keep thinking this is so wrong!! How can it be that I can come home from work and not hear Melanie say, "Hi, my beautiful mommy, how was work?" or have Jessica making a second pot of coffee at 6 am so I could have some to take with me? How about every weekend that we spent with the 3 little ones? How is it that you won't see Dmitri, Nina or Gabriel grow into adults? And what about Autumn? No mom to help her with her fashion choices and to answer her most personal questions. No, this is just NOT RIGHT.
I need to press rewind and go back. I need my little girls. The ones who were inseparable. We called ourselves "the Wasilok women" and to this day, that was our rallying cry even though all of our last names are different. Melanie would often tell me that she loved her childhood and thought that we had so much fun. I know I ran them ragged with activities to try to keep them occupied and have them learn new things. I still have the t-ball group photo where both girls had on their team t-shirts along with white tights because we came right from dancing school! Of course there was Girl Scouts, our favorite activity. We loved camping...in the cold. We loved learning boating...in the camp swimming pool. Everyone enjoyed Jungle Breakfasts, hunting for food that my co-leaders and I would hide in camp. Not long ago, Jessica was telling Nina about how much fun Jungle Breakfasts were, and even considered trying it next time all 3 of the little grandchildren stayed here.
And singing. Did the Wasilok women love music? You bet we did! It was at the core of our lives. In Girl Scouts, we learned as many songs as we could, and as adults, we could still do the Tennessee Wiggle Walk to embarrass the grandchildren. But when MTV came into our lives, all bets were off. I still remember the kids staying up late to watch "Thriller" when it premiered. They were on the bed in the living room, wide-eyed and hugging under the covers! After that, their tastes were diverse and yet they came together on the 80s bands like Guns N Roses, Poison, etc. Later, the Red Hot Chili Peppers were the band of choice, and something that always made me smile was riding in the car with Melanie, Jessica and all 3 little ones where everyone was singing "The Other Side." I heard it tonight and had to pull the car over to cry. To quote the song's starting lyrics, "How long, how long will I slide?" takes on a whole new meaning now. The sliding is done, girls. Together, you loved fiercely and fought fiercely, but ultimately you were together at the end. Inseparable as always. Sleep well, sweet children of mine.

Mommy, I can't believe this is happening and it will never feel real. You're never going to leave my side because you've always been my best friend. I remember being little and in school learning how to write in cursive and I wanted my handwriting to be just like yours even though now it gives me a headache. Being 17 years old I don't know how you scratching my back still helps me fall asleep, but I've always told you that you have a warm touch and no one else can comfort and make me feel that safe. I'm never going to be able to smell a pumpkin spiced latte again without thinking of you. I was so blessed to be raised by you, and you gave me the most beautiful little sister. There are so many things I wish I could thank you for and babble on to you about. You were such an awesome and down to earth person!! I could tell you anything and you never failed to make me feel beautiful. You are beautiful Mom, everything about you and I'm so proud to see you in myself. I love you so much
Aunt "Smell Smell", our relationship was always a little rocky but from when I was little when I was the only baby in the family we always spent so much time together. I remember you were the only one that would play Mario brothers with me and I loved it so much, I loved our time together. I remember you got me my cartilage pierced and I thought you were SO COOL. It's crazy that this is all happening so quick, because like a month ago I was sitting on the couch with you watching 40 Year Old Virgin. I remember you taking me to Putt Putt and the mall and us blasting Mariah Carey.. We've always had a special relationship. I know you're here too, I love you.

Melanie it has been many years since we have seen each other, but I remember all the years we had as children. We would spend endless hours at each others houses. I remember we were at your house when MTV first came on and how we would stay up and watch music videos. How your mom Mindy was my Girl Scout leader and our families got so close. I remember our parents would go over to the Mcgee's house to play Dungeons and Dragons. Jessica I remember how when you were tonner and into gymnastics. I remember how you and Mel were less like sisters and more like friends and that were would all play together. You both will be greatly missed by all those who knew you. Mindy your were such a kind woman to all of your daughters' friends and often treated us as if w were your children too. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. May good give you peace and strength.

I send my deepest love and condolences to the surviving family. When I first met Melanie, through my sister Amanda, it was in Junior High School. She was always warm and friendly with me. We had some really crazy experiences together and she impacted my life positively. Then I met her sister Jessica not long afterward, also while I was in Junior High, I was also best friends with Ilene Rosenthal. When I first encountered Jess, her big beautiful smile deeply impressed in my heart. She was so incredibly energetic and friendly, I instantly loved her!I want to also mention how I loved singing with her. Her voice was always as impressive and beautiful as her smile. We spent a lot of close times together for many years. Jess became so close to my heart. Our families even shared kittens from Ilene's momma cat. During High school, I managed to get Jess and Ilene a job at my work place. It was at the old Barclay Square Movie theater that finally closed down in 1993. We had way too many fun times to list because of always seeing each other during school, or at work and at play. We cried together when Ilene passed away. I managed to keep up with Jessica thanks to Facebook. We even got to see each other last in 2010 when I visited my old home town. I was living in SoCal at the time. I've been living either out of state or out of country since the year 2000. I was blessed enough to introduce my husband to her face to face at our last meet up. I met and married my husband in Japan and he is Japanese. I live in Japan with my husband and daughter and will be giving birth within a month. I'm very sad I cannot be a part of this viewing physically. Please know that any surviving family members may contact me and ask me about any memories or if they need help with anything. I loved these girls! I send special love to their children now too. It brakes my heart the most to know that they must try to heal from this. I pray for angels to surround them.

It's strange how the craziest, silliest things get to us sometimes. Mel & Jess, I am singing "November Rain" in my head, of all things. I felt okay for a while today, like this wasn't real, and then I played-started to play-"Sweet Child of Mine" so I could feel you here with me. But you're not here. And I started to tremble, so I turned it off. I know that's an oldie, but it reminds me of you *SO* much. I remember how you both were trying to get me into GN'R back in your grungy teen years, and I kept trying to get you to listen to Dylan--losing battle, until they recorded "Knockin' On Heaven's Door." Then Mel, you said, "Axl sings it better," and I said, "Yeah okay, Mel!"
Jess, you were more open to Dylan, but I know you agreed with Mel :-)
Mel, do you remember when you and I were driving around in the summer in my car? We stopped at Pop's to get a water ice, and I was blaring some real folk stuff, "Where Have All the Flowers Gone" and "If I Had a Hammer." You were so mortified, you put the passenger seat all the way down, almost completely horizontal, and lay down with your hands over your face so nobody would see you. You were both so funny.
I love you, love you, love you! xoxoxoxo

Where does one start? Jessica and Melanie. They may have well been the same person. Inseparable in life, in mind and in spirit. My heart is completely crushed. Melanie, I loved you like my own sister. Your boys WILL be taken care of. I promise you that. Jessica. My sweet Jessica. You were the food for my soul. So many memories. YOU were the one who made me laugh. Your humor was as twisted as my own. Not many have that. You had me at hello. From the moment that we met, I was was in complete awe of you. You beauty was far from surface deep. It ran through you in entirety. As I write this, I cannot think of any way that I'll be able to carry on and move forward. I'm incomplete now. Know that I will be there as I have been for your Daughters. It is an honor to feel and treat them as my own. I Love you Jessica. With every single ounce of my being.
I will be the biggest rock that I can possibly be for all of the kids and mostly Mindy. Your Mother has lost her heart. Her reason for being. She is an Angel here on Earth. I promise the both of you that I will NEVER let her down. You two keep an eye on both, the children and Mom from high above and I'll handle things from here.
You've taken a piece of so many along on your journey to paradise. We will be together again one day. When that day happens, remember...two sweet and lows for my welcome home cup of coffee.
I LOVE YOU BOTH!! :(

Jess you've been my good friend for most of our lives (over 20 yrs). As well as with a large circle of mutual friends. Our teenage adventures are way too many to list here. We've gone our own ways throughout life but always would reconnect and the family-like love would still be there just as always. Many memories!
Everyone who knows you knows that you absolutely love and think the world of your daughters. You always talked about how proud you were of them. How smart they are, etc. And how they are your best friends.
Melanie was always a sweet girl too and fun to hang around while growing up. You girls will be very missed!
My heart goes out to all of the family and friends.
My prayers for all the family. God bless

There has been so many memories we have shared through the years. My heart is broken that we will not be able to create anymore. No words can describe the pain that aches in my heart to see you no longer. I love you both and hope you see how many people love you both.

My dear friend Jessica, It meant so much to me that we reconnected as adults and I have missed you over the past year. I will always remember you as a classy, compassionate and warm woman and a good friend. You will forever be remembered. Melanie, I remember you from when I was a kid, Jess's big sister. You always had a smile for us. May you both rest in peace. You are missed. Love & always your friend, Theresa

May you know my love and hope for your families is very true. I know what it is to lose a child and for a grandchild to lose her Mother. Please trust God, He knows best.

Beautiful Melanie Rose, I remember the day you were born very clearly. I was only 11 and so happy to have a *real* baby to play with instead of my dolls! I loved you from the moment you were born, with that little cleft in your chin. You were the sweetest little angel and I spent every second I could with you--couldn't wait to come home from school so I could hold you and play with you and wheel you in your stroller. You grew into a beautiful woman, a devoted mom, and a kind soul. But you will always be my baby niece, Melanie.
Jessica Lynn, you were the second bundle of joy, 3 years later. Melanie was so excited to have a baby sister, and I was ecstatic to have another niece! I remember one day when you were about 4, you said, "Aunt Carol, are you a high school kid?" Why I'm thinking of that now, I don't know, but it's as clear as day. As you grew, you grew more beautiful and intelligent and inquisitive, and you passed those qualities on to your beautiful daughters. We had many, many deep talks and, as with your sister, we always had music in our blood (though not always the same music!)
You took a piece of my heart, baby girls, but you will always be part of my soul. Melanie, we both have those "Wasilok features" and whenever I saw your face, I saw my past. I know you felt the same, which is why we always cried when we saw each other. And Jess, we both have that hoarse voice in common, and endless curiosity, and that "Russian thing." :-)
Right now, I am thinking of us all dancing together in the basement to "Shake It Up" and "All Together Now" when you were little girls. You used to love it when it got real fast at the end and we would dance faster and faster and then laugh. And I remember reading stories to you, like "The Monster At the End of This Book," which always used to crack you up and would end up with both of you getting tickled.
I will never be able to hear a Guns n' Roses song without crying--I miss you so much and wish I could hug you one more time and tell you how much I love you. So very much, it hurts. Sleep peacefully, angels. xoxoxo
