Dear Friends and Schoolmates,   

    We have more sad news this Thursday morning.  Marion Radin Mirmelstein, Maury High School Class of @ 1942, widow of Benson Mirmelstein ('3_), and mother of George Mirmelstein (NNHS / Hampton Roads Academy - '69) of VA, Joel Mirmelstein of DE, and Jan Mirmelstein of VA, passed away in Richmond on Sunday, April 10, 2011, at the age of 86.  May her memory be for a blessing always.

  From Bobbie Smith Horwitz ('65) of TX - 04/13/11, 5:32 PM - "Obituary for Marion Mirmelstein":

Dear Carol,

I am sad to send you the obituary of Marion Mirmelstein who lived in Newport News until 1971 when she moved to Dallas, TX. I believe her children, Joel, Jan and George all went to school in Newport News.

Thank you,

Bobbie Horwitz

   Thank you so much, Bobbie.   I read this twice thinking surely there must be some connection to us, but was unable to draw it.  You have my deepest condolences on the loss of your friend.

I am so sorry to hear of Marion's passing. She was a part of the Smith/Horwitz family lives for as long as I can remember including my wedding and move to Texas, my son's bris and swimming lessons, and innumerable meals. Even though time would pass between phone calls, catching up was easy. I know she will be missed by all.
