I am writing to the family with hopes of finding relatives of Jacob M Viener.
My step-father who served in WWII had a box of war items in which I found a silver bracelet with Jacob M .Viener inscribed on the front and on the back God be with you Thelma and Reuben. I have been searching for this family and would love to mail it to the rightful owner. My step -father Frederick Bing passed away 10 years ago. Would you e-mail me back to see if this is the correct family. My name is Nancy Chiesa I live in Salt Lake City. I can send you a picture of the bracelet if you would like.
Thoughts and prayers for your recent loss. [email protected]

Michael - I was sorry to read about your mother - how lucky to have her till age 96 and all the wonderful memories. Wish I had known her as I have worked at St. Mary's for 23 years and probably knew her as I saw volunteers daily. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
