My mother's father's brother's wife was Bellarina. Some facts you didn't know... She had hair that went to the floor-my late mother would recall her taking more than an hour to do her hair. both Bellarina and my great uncle Chaim Schneyer had a myna bird and when my mother would visit the bird would greet my mother in yiddish and then start with yiddish bad words in which my mother would remind herself that her father taught the bird those bad words. I met my cousin Theodore in Thanksgiving 1979 and although never met him before. When I arrived in Madison, Wisconsin(where he resides) by Greyhound bus, when I got off the bus I looked at Theodore and instantly knew he is family. When Bellarina died my aunt sent a copy of a yiddish newspaper with her obituary to my mom.
