You know you have Lived when they can Remember. Jolyn you have left me with an indelible imprint that I will forever hold to my Heart. I met you when you when I came to Chicago Heights as the manager of a team you were part of. Jolyn our professional teaming extended beyond the workplace due to honesty and positive outlook on life. There were so many laughs and good times. I will miss our conversations and get togethers. I know you are still smiling happily reunited with your parents. I find solace knowing I will see you again.
