I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your dad. Mr. and Mrs. Garvey were very dear friends of my mom and dad, Jack and Peg Gladstone. Mrs. Garvey sold our house in Mt. Prospect. Both your mom and dad were so good to my mom after my dad passed away in 1981. I was so thankful when they would visit my mom in the nursing home. They gave her such love and respect and laughter. I always held such respect for them. I always saw the love and respect they had between them. So sorry I was not at the services (I didn't hear until today). Please know both your parents were truly loved by my parents! My prayers are with your whole family.
