Mona Malden

While I did not personally know the Maiden's I was lucky enough to encounter them in a hotel lobby in 1998 in Toronto. Mr. Malden had recently made an appearance on Tom Schneider which I thoroughly enjoyed. Mr Malden' grace, humour and humility made for wonderful interview. I took to opportunity to introduce myself to the Maiden's and tell them how much I enjoyed his recent tv appearance. Mr and Mrs Malden were so gracious. I knew I was in the presence of two very special people.

I'd been on vacation for the 4th and am only seeing this now. I'm heartbroken. Mona & Karl we're dear friends for over 60 years. From my early years in NYC they were so kind. Inviting me to dinner and Mona always helping out with my causes'. Karl, ever the diplomat, would invariably leave the room. I remember Mona's laugh, her joy, and her zest for life. During my LA sojourn in the 60's thru 80's they remained kind with an open invitation for dinner.

My thoughts and prayers are...

One of the kindest, most patient, curious, generous and lovingly graceful women my memory serves from the age of 8 to the officially old man I am now. My condolences, best and love to Carla and Mila - Gus Rosenfeld

Dear Mila and Carla,
It was an incredible honor to meet and get to know Mona during my time with her. She was elegant, funny, sweet, intelligent, and always made me smile. I looked up to her in so many ways and always enjoyed her warm, welcoming presence. So many memories come to mind when I think of her that I will cherish forever. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to help and spend time with her. ❤ I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Carla, Mila and Cami,
Your Gaga was a magnificent
human being and it was truly
an honor and privilege to know her.
With love, Karen and Jessica
