To the Jelinek Family..Over the years mom & I would see & talk to Andrea on the various art trips and Lester, when we would bring in mom’s furs we would always asked on how the family was doing and they would fill us with a lot of memories. She is now at peace and her love for all of you will be in your hearts forever.....
