Joe and Sidder. Please accept my condolences for the loss of your beloved Mother and my Sister, Mahulda. I will always remember her as very intelligent and a highly motived achiever. My fondest memories are playing tennis together, dancing at the Rainbow Grill and swimming at the Falls. She was a good sister, who was always there for me, and I will miss her greatly. You are both in my thoughts and prayers. Leona
