My family and I are so grateful to have known Mandy. We will always treasure the help he gave us when we were just beginning to get settled here in the US over 20 years ago. When I was diagnosed with cancer in 2010, he and Valerie were among the first few to visit me in person at home and offered me advice and support. I was also fortunate to have visited him in his lovely home when he himself was diagnosed with blood cancer in 2011. When he was still active on Facebook even when he was already very sick, he would always initiate chatting with me or my husband to exchange pleasantries whenever he saw we were both on. We rarely saw each other during the last twenty years but it felt like our ties continued to get stronger through the years. We will always remember Mandy for his kindness, generosity and helpfulness. He was a true friend and an admirable man.
Mavel and children, we know it is a very difficult time for you right now, having lost a great father and husband. But we're sure he is peacefully looking down on you from heaven with the rest of the angels. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow.
Love,
Fe, Ber, Chona, Camille
