Bunica Reli, you were the last grandmother I had left and I am so glad you have lived such a long life so I can have the granddaughter – grandmother relationship well into my adulthood and to remember it better. My memories of you are both from my childhood as well as my adulthood.
I remember your home from Romania and how interesting its layout seemed to me. I was fascinated by the fact that the bedroom had two doors, one that opened into the hallway and another one that opened directly into the living room or that the bathroom also had two entrances and I loved playing hide and seek over there and tried to trick you as I went through one door and came out through the other. I loved that you had more balconies in your home than I had at home and I could get my pick at which one to play on when going outside. But my favourite part I think was the living room carpet’s design which stirred up my imagination. I still have the memory of when you would play Johann Strauss’ Radetzky March I would march around the edges of the carpet, trying to maintain the straight lines on its edges. Perhaps one of the oldest memories would be one when you and Unchiul Tzutzi put on a waltz and danced around the same living room. Thinking back at these memories, I think you really enjoyed the classical music and tried to teach us to like it too. And you know what? It worked!
When I moved to Canada and was already a young adult we got a chance to reconnect and work more on our special bond. Whenever we’d meet we could sit and talk for hours about various subjects from cooking to sports and politics (although I must admit I didn’t know much about the politics but I was learning from you). I know you really liked watching tennis and ice figure skating. The tennis part worked really well especially when you first met any of my boyfriends as it tore up any kind of pressure there must have been the first time you’d meet someone’s grandmother. You were such an interesting woman. I always admired your courage and perseverance and hoped to have at least half of that within myself while cruising through life. You were an intelligent woman who has lived a life full of memories. You’ve had good times and you’ve had hard times but you always rose back up to the top and found a way out of every difficult situation. You tried to instill that into your children and grandchildren as well and we are all grateful for it. You have had many friends in both Romania and Canada. Well at some point I felt that you even had more friends in Canada than I had and they all loved spending time with you. I remember thinking how cool it was that you lived downtown and were so close to the lake and often met with friends.
We are sad to have to part ways but you will always be in our hearts and now that you are on the other side we’ll feel even more protected. I truly feel you had a wonderful life and were happy with what you have achieved. We all have to go some day and it is sad but you left as a happy and fulfilled woman and that is the most important part. We love you, may your journey beyond be as wonderful as you made us feel while growing up and may you continue to have peace and joy wherever you will travel!
I leave you with this march. I always think of you and that living room carpet whenever I hear it, always!

Buni was the best part of my childhood, a trusted advisor and teacher during my youth, a friend and confidant during my adulthood, and will forever remain the light in dark times during the rest of my life. When I think of her I am reminded of the kindness and genuine good in the world, because she set that example for me. Growing up, some of my earliest memories are spending time in her apartment, when I was so small that I would only see up to her waist. In the morning, she would be in the kitchen cooking, and I'd spend my time watching her go about her routine, listening to the radio by the balcony in the kitchen. We would go on walks together to the market, and in the evening, we'd watch TV together. She'd help me make forts between chairs, and I'd watch with her between windows in my makeshift mini-homes around the house. We'd sleep in the same bed together at night, and she'd read stories that I still recall today. Tinereţe fără bătrâneţe şi viaţă fără de moarte, and other stories as well, some memorable ones by Hans Christian Andersen. In my later years, I'd take a passion for reading during summers, bringing back the same sense of adventure I enjoyed with Buni when we explored books together.
I learned to be courageous from Buni. When I had to recite literature at school, she helped me overcome my fear of public speaking by practicing with me for hours. She practiced dialogue with me when I was in school plays, and also created a costume for me one time so I could play the part and really get into character. Growing up with Buni, she offered me freedom to grow and explore, but it seemed like she was always just around the corner when I needed her. She taught me patience and enjoying the moment, while also not putting off things that could get done today for the next day. I am proud to have had a grandmother like her.
During the more recent decades, I look to Buni as an example of enjoying the simple things in life. She loved figure skating, cooking, and spending time with friends and family. She especially loved her grandchildren, and talking about their achievements and life. Christmas time was my favorite time of year, and I always looked forward to telling her about things I had seen and done over the past year, and she'd catch me up on what happened on her end.
One promise left unfulfilled, or so I thought, had been the one I made to Buni about making sure I'd find a way for her to be with us forever. It turns out that didn't require anything more than time to fulfill. Time spent with Buni, time building memories, and time to learn how to be a great person like her. I can now see her in everyday actions I take, and I see her often in those who knew her. Thank you for everything Buni. I will miss you dearly.

Thank you Andrei! What a wonderful eulogy you wrote for Buni! She was indeed a very special person and she loved you dearly! You were her first grandchild and you two shared a strong bond! I am happy she got the chance to speak with you on the last days of her life and tell you how much she loved and cherish you! "Andrei al meu te iubesc!" were her last words to you in that evening when she was at Emergency. I am also glad you showed her how special she was to you!

Buni - I will miss seeing you every Christmas. You were the kindest soul and I appreciate how you welcomed me into the family. Before I met you, Andrei told me stories about you and how you took care of him. He always spoke about you and told me how much you meant to him. I remember my first Christmas with the family, you made us the best cabbage rolls. Andrei said it would mean a lot to him for us to meet and he told me how much that would mean to you. I was really nervous at first to meet you but the moment I met you, you made me feel at ease. When I first met you, you gave me the biggest smile and hug. I loved your laugh and Christmas will never be the same without you. I miss you and I will always be thinking of you. I am so grateful to have met you and I understand the love Andrei and the family has for you. I will forever have you in my heart and I am so grateful to be able to call you my Buni. Rest in peace Buni. Love Jen.

Buni Reli was such a tremendous part of my life growing up and will always have a special place in my heart. As a child I was very hyperactive, but Buni always showed patience and kindness with my antics. My fondest memory is when we were both in the kitchen making her famous marbled lemon cake. She would always let me eat the batter until my stomach hurt. We made it so often that I memorized the recipe just by watching and helping her. Every time I make it myself it always reminds me of her, and now that she's gone the memory will be that much more special.
We miss you Buni and we'll never forget all the great memories we created as a family.

Thank you Dani, I know how much you loved Buni and the special bond you shared! She loved you so very much too! Even in her last days of life she asked me about you and told me how much she cared about you! We all will miss her and she will be in our hearts for ever!

I will never forget all of my great memories with Buni Reli, especially my favorite memory of when she was taking care of me as a child while my parents were working. I was playing on the internet when I got a pop up for a free trip to Disney and needed to tell my dad. She entertained the idea and even took me to call my dad excitingly where he let me know the truth. She always went above and beyond to make me happy and I will never forget her, I love you Buni and I miss you.

Buni Reli spent every summer with us when I was growing up. I remember our walks around the city, her stories from her own childhood in the country, all the help improving my Romanian, and seeing how she took care not just of us kids, but our entire family when we were together.

My mother was a remarkable woman. There are no lessons about 'The Art of Mothering' we can only do our best and hope that we do it well, my mother certainly succeeded. She was a caring, supportive and loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend. Yet she was shy and unassuming.
I have lost my wonderful mother, companion, adviser and mentor. I am so honored to have been her daughter. I am grieving for the amazing relationship I had with her. My mother's kindness was contagious and her memory will live on forever.
She taught us all what is really important in life - to love, support and care for friends and family in our lives. We are all better off for having known her. It was a great privilege to be her daughter.

Mama Nașa. Așa i-am spus de când am deschis ochii în lumea asta. Mi-a fost mult mai mult decât mătușă și nașă de botez, mi-a fost ca o a doua mamă. Copil fiind, la Sinaia, bunica mi-o dădea mereu drept exemplu: ”Și tatăl tău învăța bine. Dar Reli a fost prima întâi!”. Și așa a rămas. Cel mai inteligent și mai deosebit om din familia noastră. Dintre noi toți. Un profesor de excepție, o mamă dedicată și neobosită, gata să-i fie oricui de ajutor. Sunt alături de verișoarele mele, Ileana și Sanda, în încercarea prin care trec. Și dacă le poate aduce alinare, le spun doar atât: ”Mama Nașa a plecat într-o călătorie. Iar la capătul ei o așteaptă cu brațele deschise alte persoane dragi. Și mai ales, EL!”.

...What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind...
(Splendor in the grass poem by William Wordsworth)
