In Flanders Fields the poppies blow – Flandria väljadel õitsevad moonid

Between the crosses row on row        
That mark our place; and in the sky        
The larks, still bravel singing, fly        
Scarce heard amid the guns below 

We are the Dead. Short days ago        
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,    
Loved and were loved, and now we lie    
in Flanders fields  

Take up our quarrel with the foe:    

    
To you from failing hands we throw        
The torch; be yours to hold it high.        
If you break faith with us who die                
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow            
in Flanders fields.            
    
    
Haudade vahel nende värvikad toonid
Märgivad paiku kus magame igavest und
On lõokestel laotuses trillerdus-tund
Ei ainsatki kahurikõma maalt kõrgusse eksle

Eks olnud meiegi varem rõõmsad kui talleke kepslev
Me nägime päikest ja loodust, olime elus,
Me tundsime õnne – kel naine, kel pruut –
Nüüd lamame Flandrias isamaatruult.

Elav sõdur, uljalt vaenlase vastu võitlusse astu:

Hoia tõrvikut kõrgel, vapralt vaenu tõrju!
Sangarlik lugu kajamas Flandriast kõrvus.
Kui hülgad me vande, me kurb-igavest und
segab rahutus, meenub elust lahkumistund.
Siiski, veel õitsevad Flandria väljadel moonid

I so, so much wanted my Mom to have more time to enjoy life, after my Dad's death and her tirelessly caring for him for many years.

Her very peaceful passing in my and her grandson's arms, listening to her favorite music, does give tremendous comfort to me and Riina. Mom was an amazing and inspiring person. I will think of her and Dad everyday.

Mom would think the fuss to place a memorial was unnecessary, since her focus was always on others and not herself. But, I think if her friends so strongly want to place a memorial, then they should.

Mom was born on December 15, 1932 in Elva. She attended fancy all-girl Hunters College in Manhattan and graduated in 1960 with a degree in bookkeeping. She worked a few years in accounting.  

She married my Dad in 1957. Before having children, they were very significantly involved in the New York Estonian community. She enjoyed the dances and parties, and accompanied my Dad to his many Estonian male choir concerts, including the choir's tour of Europe.

Aasta tagasi pöördus Stockholmi Eesti Päevaleht meie poole tellimispalvega — neil oli aega vaid pool päeva, aga puudu oli viis tellimust, et ületada künnis, mis taganuks ajalehe ilmumiseks riigitoetuse. Leht sai selle poole päevaga tellimusi Eestist rohkemgi ning ilmub edasi. Niisiis, on hetki, kus ajalehe ja avalikkuse koostöö on ülimalt eksistentsiaalne.

28. aprilli õhtul tabas USA lennukompaniid American Airlines ebatavaline tõrge: pilootidele mõeldud iPadi rakendus jooksis kokku ja kümned lennukid ei saanud seetõttu õhku tõusta. Üks lennukompanii esindaja ütles, et rakendus tõrkus "paaril tosinal" lennul üle kogu riigi.
