My deepest sympathies. We were neighbors and I truly enjoyed our conversations. My fondest memories was when she would come out in the backyard and do lawn work, with her dog right there with her. We would always stike up conversation. She was very warm, loving and really cared about others. Our prayers go out to your family during this difficult time.

Bill,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family during this difficult time. Your Mom bowled for years with my father Art and your father bowled with my Dad and me at Wheaton Triangle. Your Mom was a wonderful addition to the St. Ann Center as well and I also knew her from there. She will truly be missed.
