Julia I'm sorry for you and your family's loss. When I saw the obituary, I reflected back some 30 plus years to the day you and your mother came to Friedman's Jewelers at the westside shopping center and I was introduced to you both by Miss Ida Slater, who had known your mother for years. It was always my pleasure to see and meet you both through all these years. Miss Annie was always a pleasant and eloquent lady and I was very lucky to have known her. God Bless you all.
