Walt Wendt and his sons Rod, John and Tom extend our condolences to Grada's extended family. Grada and Bob were great friends of Walt and Mandy for many years in the Beverly Hills neighborhood. Unforunately Walt is too frail to attend Grada's remembrance service, but we all will be there in spirit.
