Mrs Hooper and family;
My memory of Mr. Hooper is one of laughter, and a tennis racket. The SK family just got a little smaller this summer, but I will always remember the silly times spent on those SK trips.
My heart and prayers go out to all of you
as we grieve the people we hold so closely to our hearts.
Sincerely,
Clare Logue

My condolences to Donna and all the family. I was a Buffalo Grove neighbor of Nancy & Ed and always enjoyed visiting with you when you came out for garage sales and holidays at their house.
