    My condolences to the family of ‘Mrs. Idlis”. She was the pre-school teacher of my twins Rodney and Julie Thomas who were blessed to be guided by her in their early learning.

    I was so saddened to hear of Carol’s passing especially so soon after my dad’s. I would have come to the shiva, but we were out of town. My parents adored Carol and George. They are all together once again.
    My condolences to all of you. Cindy
