Dear Sondra, Mel and Family,
It is with sadness that I learned of the loss of your mother Ethel. I worked with her for many years at the Temple Judea weekday religious school in the 60's, 70's and 80's. She was proud to be a Jewish teacher and she influenced many young lives. Mel and I had many wonderful conversations together during that time. I am very proud to have known such a wonderful person doing a great Mitzvah!
Fondly,
David
