Okay. Tazian, huh? Or the English? >> Okay. Mazlev on her birthday. Beyond her dedication to her family, Mrs. Mandel's warmth has touched countless lives through her work as a birth doula, a life coach, end of life doula, guiding, supporting, uplifting, inspiring people at life's most profound and extraordinary moments. So, her family dedicates this in her honor.
