Ms. Mendoza had so much class. I always looked up to her with admiration since she was so friendly and entertaining. Never did she seem down in anyway. My parents did business where she worked and any question they had, I heard, "Call Bobbie." She could be trusted in all areas. Cindy, I know you were marked as a real "lady" by your beautiful and glamorous mother.

Cindy - so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother. I remember the many mornings she would drive us to school when we lived in Clairmont. One morning especially, she had started the car and I had gotten in the back and we were waiting on you. She got out to see what was taking you so long and forgot to put the car in park and it rolled down the driveway. She realized it and ran back and jumped in to stop it before it made it to the street. I remember your Mom being such a nice lady. Deepest sympathy to you and your family. Sheri de Bie Bethard
