Peter, Linda & Scott, Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family with the passing of your Mom. We will always remember her as friend who made us feel like part of the family. She will be missed by many and remembered fondly. As my Mother remarked after some of our Sunday meals at Famous Dave's, "She is and was quite a gal."

To the family of Gladys Damby. I was privileged to know Gladys during her stay at Wesley Willows. I worked in Kirk's Place. She lived in another unit then but would come by to visit with us and our residents. She was such a sweet, gracious and lovely lady. May you find comfort in precious memories of her. Lois Payne

We are all so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. I remember as a child being very excited when I knew your family was coming to visit. Your mom always brought a smile and a story that we all enjoyed. She will be missed..Janine Donovan/Clemens

Dear Scott and Peter, My condolences on the passing of your mother. Tootie was a joy to know. How fortunate you were to have such an exuberant mother! I remember dining out at the Red Lobster with my mom, Fran, Josie and Tootie way back when. What a great time I had sharing her laughter. She came to my mother's funeral and showed pictures from her latest adventure parasailing in Mexico. Her laughter and love will live on in you. As time passes may you find peace and love in your memories of her.

I was sadden to hear the passing of your Mother. To me she was a great lady, I always enjoyed hearing her fabulous laugh and I admired her great sense of style. I do have wonderful memories of her; and the time we have all spent together, when we were children.

To the Damby Family. Sorry to hear of your loss. I remember Mrs. Damby from Julia Lathrop School, many many years ago. She would always talk to me when i had to go to the office. I was always respectful to her, and she was so nice to me. I no longer live in Rockford, but i was checking the Obits and seen her name. I had to submit this to the family. My prayers are with you all.

I enjoyed Gladys very much. I was one of her visiting teachers, from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Gladys wasn't active in our church for many years, but we still enjoyed her company. She told me about teaching primary in a home, during the early days of the church in Rockford. She said they used every room in the house for classes, for the children.

Tootie was my neighbor growing up on Melrose Street. Her and Pete were always so good to my family and I. I haven't seen her in quite some time, to hear about this loss makes me very sad. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time of loss.

You have my condolences. I enjoyed the times I had with your Mom when she was a den chief and I was a boy scout. She was always a Great alady to me.
