Read MoreFaun and LeRoy were my parents, Leonard and Dorothy Ahrens, dearest friends. They had so many good times together.
When my dad died so suddendly Faun was the best friend ever.

Many years ago I met Faun when she arrived in Joliet I had the opportunity to tell her about my church St. Peters Lutheran and a place where she could stay . I feel blessed to have had this experience .My sympathy from Florida . Marion Bracken

Sally and I are so sad to hear of Faun's passing. Seeing her smiling face at church every Sunday was such a joy for us. May God bless your whole family at this time of sadness.

My sympathy to the Bensons. I thought my mother lived a long time but only to 100. I still remember all of the Jefferson Bensons and I hope all is well with them. They were a family to be proud of.
