Ramona, I am glad that you have a great relationship with Avery.

Your daughter is your best accomplishment and you have done an amazing job raising her to be a thoughtful, caring young lady! You have carried this season with your witty and charm too - so kudzoo to you!

The moment between you and your daughter -- how beautiful. You have raised not only a fine young woman (who i am sure will go on to do wonderful things in her life) -- but you have broken that cycle that you yourself lived through.. My friend, Mario and you did it !!

I have watched over the years you grow, accept love, accept that you don't have to do it all by yourself and reach out inside of in.. Bravo, Ramona, Bravo.. Alex and yourself are classic.

Raising my Pinot

1) That was really sweet of Avery to write the paper about you. Just shows that even when teens get frustrated with their parents, they still love them. 2) We have a strict rule about no phones or texts at the table either at home or in a restaurant. This is the one time we devote to talking with eachother. I have 3 teenage boys and we all follow the rule. Try it, I think you will enjoy it.

Ramona, You looked like the stripping act was very uncomfortable for you and the way Mario was re-acting. Just to let you know, that woman has nothing on you. You are a very beautiful woman inside and out. I'm also not surprised that Avery would write about you as a role model. You seem to have done a great job on raising her to be very responsible and well mannered young woman. Keep up the good work!!

You are a role model for many women - your business acumen, your love of life, how you cherish your friends, your dedication to your marriage and your daughter who is beautiful inside and out! You are always fun to watch and your scenes are a bright light on the darking stage of RHNY. Love ya!

hi Ramona,

I justed wanted to say that the moment you shared with Avery on tonights episode was really touching to me. The beautiful things that Avery wrote sum up EXACTLY how I feel about my mom. My parents got divorced when I was young and my mother raised me and basically became my best friend. She was selfless and did everything for everyone and always supported me no matter what. She turned me into the person I am today (and in my own opinion, im pretty great :) ).

Sadly, my mom died really suddenly less than two months ago (she was only 59) and I can't begin to tell you how lost I've felt. But watching the show tonight -- hearing Avery's letter and you telling her how much you love her, I could hear my mom saying it to me and its been the most comforting moment I've felt since she passed.

So -- continue to be the strong, beautiful, successful women that you both are! And thank you both so much for being so open in that moment. It meant more than you know.

You and Mario have done a fine job raising Avery. I thought that paper she wrote was very sweet and you should be proud.

Ramona, you are a great mom and that is one of the best compliments you can get. And you look "HOT" for 54, so embrace it!

Ramona!

I'm a big fan of you and Avery! What a beautiful relationship you have with your daughter. When I saw the scene that Avery was reading her paper to you, it brought tears to my eyes, too! You did great job raising such a wonderful, smart young lady...!

You are my favorite housewife!

I think the only reason any of the mean girls come to your parties is to bash them when they leave. I don't hear you bad mouth them in your blogs yet every chanch the "perfect girls" get to bash anyone, they do!!! You keep on keeping on Ramona! Besides the good Lord's opinion is the ONLY one that truely matters.

I loved your daughter's composition, I'm sorry to say that as a Mother of two teen's I kept waiting for the statement; "Mom can I get a new phone?".

I was blown away to hear your age!! You look amazing & certainly not your age!!

Ramona you rock!! From this day forward if any of those other jealous, two-faced beyotches (or anyone else for that matter!) try to put you down you can simply show them a copy of Avery's paper!! That's it; nothing more needed - the unconditional love, respect & admiration of your child, well, it does not get any better than that!!! Well done Ramona - YOU know what is really important in life! Keep up the good work : )

Your daughter is just like you... awesome! Love you Ramona!!

54? Wow! Embrace it and BRAG about it, because you look terrific!! Avery's paper about you is a beautiful tribute. Good for you!

It's obvious you and Mario have done a terrifc job raising Avery.

Ramona, love the relationship you have with Avery. You have a lovely family.

You've done an excellent job with Avery. You look great at 54! I'm glad Sonja has you since you're honest with her and she needs honesty right now. She seems to be stuck in another decade and hopefully she's going to wake up and come out of this okay.

Ramona, you look better at 54 than I do at 43 - embrace it and tell the world!

I loved Avery's essay so much. Like you, I had a crappy childhood, and I can't imagine ever writing such a thing about my own mother. That relationship wasn't there and still is not, never will be. It was so nice to see and kudos for a job well done.

Ramona, your daughter is lovely, and what an honor to hear that she wants to be just like you. Good job Ramona.

RAMONA, HONESTLY-YOU DO NOT LOOK 54!!!!! YOU LOOK FANTASTIC! YES, AVERY'S LETTER WAS A WONDERFUL THING FOR A MOTHER TO READ. SHE'S JUST YOUR TYPICAL 16 Y/O AND SHE'S REALLY A BEAUTIFUL GIRL. SOMETIMES WE CAN PLEASE THIS AGE GROUP, SOMETIMES, NOT.... BUT, THERE IS A LOT OF LOVE THERE AND THAT'S THE BEST FOUNDATION POSSIBLE! TAKE CARE.

I loved the scene with Avery. She is at the age when she still needs to be mothered, but becoming aware that her parents have their own lives as well. Mothers shock their daughters at that age all the time by just breathing! However, the bottom line was expressed in her paper dedicated to you. You have every right to feel proud of Avery and to revel in your relationship with her. The fact that she can express her feelings openly to you also says a lot.

Your acceptance of people and your support is a beautiful thing. Again your interaction with Sonja shows these qualities.

Love you!

I think you tend to be misunderstood and I think we are a very nice person.

You remind me of my Aunt who came from a similar background and I think of her when I see you on the show. She grew up with an alcoholic Father and they moved from place to place and things were never stable or in control.

You are wonderful and enjoy your success and it is okay to let go because you are in a good place and everything will be fine.

Ramona, your relationship with Avery is similar to ther relationship I have with my daughter. You are open with her. She is able to tell you what she thinks and what she is able to handle. Avery is truly lovely. You and Mario have done a great job!

Team Ramona!!!

The paper that Avery wrote was sooo sweet! It goes to show that she really loves you, even though she gets those typical "16-yrs-old-girl" mood-swings, LOL.

looooooooovvveee you and your beautiful family!!!!

You are quickly becoming my favorite housewife. The show doesn't always portray you in the best light but as I watch all of the episodes, you really have your act together and I see you as a successful inspiration! Go Team Ramona!!

Of all the Housewives franchises you are my ALL time favorite. Funny as heck! You're the only one who see through all the BS around (and Alex to a certain extent). Avery is turning into a lovely young woman, you must be so proud. My favorite moment of this season was your comment when you saw Luann come downstairs in her "singing" outfit. You thought she was a drag queen! LOL!

Last nights show was great! Very little drama and a lot of very touching scenes. I thought Avery was extremely sweet. Even Ally was great. Two awesome children form two exceptional women.

Kimberley

When Somja was shopping in Patricia Field on last nites epi wearing the black fur hat I realized she looks alot like Barbara Streisand. Check it out.

Ramona - you keep on being you girl! the heck with the haters and the fake housewives. You have truly shown how you have transformed over the years and while I didn't care for Sonja at first and her outrageous behavior towards Alex (she NEEDS to apologize to Alex btw.. and accept how wrong she was to her) - your very telling emotions towards her show what a mixed up individual she is and yet, she IS a good person.

Keep kicking butt on those classless HW's - we ALL know by their cattiness what they truly are, and you are FAR better off without them as friends. Heck, I wouldn't even want to acknowledge them as acquaintances!

What a BEAUTIFUL gift to receive from Avery. You have every reason to be proud of her and proud of yourself for bringing up such an amazing young woman. You may not realize, when all the cattiness is going on, but you are also setting an example for the other women on your show. Hopefully they will want to emulate your kindness and sense of humor. Keep being you and maybe someday they will want to stop with the unhappiness they are sending out into the world.

"in life you will come across women like this but you need to have a strong sense of self worth and know who you are. If you keep this is mind then women like this can't hurt or harm you." Amen!

Ramona Avery is a mother's dream daughter. She is so beautiful and intelligent and Yes you have and are doing a outstanding parenting job with her. WELL DONE !

Hi,

First off love you! you are spunky smart and fun.....I think you should of been honest with LuAnn about why you did not want to be in the video, instead of throwing patenting out there, you both have amazing daughters.

LuAnn though she seems so snobby and just pretentious (hope I spelled that correct) in the real world where most of us live being kind and being a good friend is classy. LuAnn does not get it.

xo Have a great weekend!

You were so cute on tonights show. You are a great mother.

Avery is clearly her own person, her comments in the first season about her mother's choice of what to wear to a party attest to that. Other incidents show her shaking her head at some of the crazy things Ramona was doing, the unspoken “this is my mother…just the way she is.” Delightful.

You are blessed and so well loved by your family. It is a tribute to your openness and caring for your family, as well as your friends. When you hurt someone's feelings you are always ready to try to make amends and take some responsibility and apologize, a trait that is not found in many people (the "countess" could certainly take some lessons from you on working out her problems with others). You and Mario are both outgoing and gregarious people. You have nothing to worry about, at Sonja's party he was just having fun, it is great he can be so open around you! Kudos on a warm and loving family!

Ramona, you are ever-so-slightly wacky...but I love ya!

Wow!!! what a powerful moment between you and your daughter last nite. How special ! it brought tears to my eyes. So good to see Sonja having fun . Last nite was one of best . Jill cracked me up, she and Cindy with there Smutt negative comments couldnt kill the fun everyone was having . You ,Alex.simon and Sonja are the life of any party . BOTTOMS UP !

Ramona,

Wow you and Avery, what a precious moment, brought me to tears. Your life is complete. Wonderful daughter and devoted husband. That is something some "people" might be just a bit envious of. Saw you on HSN today. You are not only a role model for Avery but for every life you touch, strong, independent, confident and successful. Enough said.

Ramona, you are amazing. You should be very proud of your beautiful Avery.

Ramona you are an amazing mommy!

You look amazing for 40, never mind 54! You should make your own exercise video. I'd buy it!

Team Blondes!!! Love you Ramona!

you look amazing!!! dont hide your age- flaunt it!!!!!!

A totally good mother... And, REALLY??? 52??? You go girl... We love you in Hawaii, well, at least I do... Keep being the awesome woman that you are...
