I was saddened to hear of the passing of Marion Anooshian. I will always remember her as an outstanding attorney, who I had the honor and pleasure of serving while abstracting for Andrew Mercaldo.
But most especially, I will never forget the kindness and generosity of both Marion and Ara for the time, encouragement and guidance they offered my daughter, Tracey, as she embarked on her educational endeavors.
Marion and Ara will always have my respect and admiration.
Peace-
