Dear Mendel family,
I'm sorry that i found this 15 years after your mom and grandmother passed. I knew her from when I worked for Dr. Mendel in the mid 1960s. She would weekly prepare a big dinner once a week , and often invite us to participate. Delicious, yes! But I enjoyed her stories and laughter. Her wine-laced watermelon is still a funny memory. May her memory be a blessing! It is to me.

Dear Eric, Joyce and family,
I have been asked why the sad face this week and I said "my mother's best friend has just passed away".
She was that and much more and Ross and I send our best to all of you.
