Dear
Eddie and Janice,
Although it has been MANY years since seeing you, or having
contact with you, I do have such fond memories of your mom. Eddie, my mom,
Helen Mehlman, and yours were long time friends and pregnant with us, and
she still tells the story of your mom and her giving birth to us on the same
day! My condolences to you and the family. Sincerely, Linda Mehlman Schwartz

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. I remember the old days of Rutland St. and Old Colony Beach. She was such a good friend of my late brother Sam.
