Dear Julie,

You mother and father were friends of my late

parents, Eihel and Leo Lindauer. I saw your mother often at the San Mateo Senior Center and she was always very friendly to me (I used to work there.)

I will remember her as a person who was always interested in those she knew. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Sincerely,

Diane Lindauer-Levinson
