And Another Anniversary Comes Rolling Along ...

This is Sara Dina bat Shmuel Zaynvill u'Feige. I think the photo must have been taken in the 1900s. She was born in Teschen in 1890, and grew up to become Salome Hoschander Friedlander, my grandmother, aka Mutti. She died in Appleton, WI on 23rd June 1965.

I can't say that I remember her, although this fuzzy photo my father must've taken is proof that we did actually meet:

From what I've been able to deduce, Mutti was the source of what was sweet and kind and loveable on that side of the family, as evidenced by all three of her children. May she rest in peace.

Dorrit F Friedlander z"l

Our hearts are full of sadness, but our incredible aunt Dorrit F Friedlander is in pain no more. The obituary that we posted said:

"Dorrit F Friedlander 88, of Appleton passed away at her home on Thursday, November 14, 2013 surrounded by love. She was born in Berlin, Germany on June 11, 1925 to Alex and Sali Friedlander.
