I 'm always happy to see my
older cousin Shirley. We've been friends since we were young. Somehow
the 2 year difference in age - usually significant for pre-teens -
didn't
seem to bother us. Even though we lived nearly 1,000 Kms apart we saw
each other often, usually in Uitenhage where she lived or in Port
Elizabeth with her mother's relatives but also in Durban.
We enjoyed a lunch together at the Nishi restaurant with our daughter Vered and with her two daughters Wendy and Sheryl.
See Matz and Levy family trees.
