Marlene, I was always so glad to see you with your Mom at RHINO. She was a woman of character, loved her spunk and felt like I knew her immediately. We at RHINO were so blessed to have her in our group. A spirit that strong will be with you forever.

I only had a couple of encounters with Bluma, but she seemed such a gracious and charming lady. So sorry for your loss. All of us at RHINO will miss her creativity. Sincerely,

Marcy and Marlene - I am so sorry to learn about your mother's passing. She was a wonderful woman and artist and she loved my family as if we were her own. I still have one small painting of hers that survived Katrina. I will always treasure it. Godspeed Bluma...

Darling Marlene,
My memories of Bluma from our days at Rhino will stay with me forever. I still treasure the cards she made for me. She was beautiful, gracious, and very talented. All those qualities were passed on to you. Peace and love to you and your family.
