FLORENCE WINDOLPH Obituary

Florence R. Windolph, on May 4, 2011, at the age of 88, went to be with her husband and the love of her life, Phillip Windolph, her entire family, all of her dogs and most of her closest friends. She passed away peacefully at Hillside Rehab in Yorkville, IL after moving from Burbank, IL. She leaves behind her closest friends, Joseph, Madonna and Spirit Bialek, Marie Gallo and Robert and Barbara Speck who will cherish their loving memories of her. Florence loved to play her organ and she did so beautifully while Phillip played his violin until his passing November 10, 2005. Their passion in life was to rescue dogs that found them. They greatly enjoyed camping and every dog not claimed by a fellow camper came home with them to be cared for until their natural passing. Since Florence and Phillip loved dogs so much, we ask that memorials be sent to Save-A-Pet Adoption Center, 31664 North Fairfield Road, Grayslake, IL 60030. Please indicate the name of Florence and Phillip Windolph, Dog Gold Paw Society. This will ensure that all senior dogs will be lovingly cared for until their natural passing and it will be as if Flo and Phil are caring for them personally. Please no flowers. We would like to thank, Hillside Rehab, Seasons Hospice, Tom Kim, MD, R.S. "Sony" Nandra, MD, HomeInstead, as well as the special caregivers who deeply cared for Florence and patiently stayed with her during all of the trials she faced. God Bless all of you. Visitation Saturday, 9 to 10 a.m. at Robert J. Sheehy & Sons Funeral Home, 4950 W. 79th St., Burbank, IL to St. Albert the Great Church, Mass 10:30 a.m. Interment Holy Sepulchre Cemetery www.shedyfh.com 708-857-7878

The Bible writer Paul described Jehovah as "the God who supplies endurance and comfort." (Romans 15:5) Since the Bible assures us that Jehovah does not change with time, we can have confidence that God still gives comfort to those who serve him.(James 1:17) You are in my prayers.
