I was shocked to learn of Mitzi's passing. I am a former high school teacher of hers. We enjoyed many chats together. She was a beautiful person from the inside out. I loved her mother and visited with her often. We express our love and sympathy to you all.

I loved seeing the picture of Mitzi and Melvin in her obituary--always a woman of beauty and class. We were a couple of years apart in high school and lived in the same ward. I have memories of always being in awe of Miti. We had the opportunity to play the piano together several times. Her mother Leora was a good friend of mine and remained a friend of my mother Peggy Frome up until her death. Love to you and your family.
