Not sure what to say?

The Schams family wishes to convey our sincerest condolences to the Lakowske family. Your mom was awesome and will be missed. Gladys would periodically call to check on mom... which I loved and appreciated. My mom would love to attend the wake but feels she will only cry the whole time. It comforts, a little, knowing she and Wally are together again. Please take care.

Whoever you hold in the heart of you
Is forever and always a part of you.

My deepest sympathies go to all the family. She was one of the best aunts a person could know. I am sorry I cannot be there but I send my prayers and the prayers of all the Christian Brothers. I will enroll her in our perpetual memorial to be remembered at all our prayers. May she rest in peace.

A limb has fallen from the family tree.
I keep hearing a voice that says, "Grieve not for me.
Remember the best times, the laughter, the song.
The good life I lived while I was strong.
Continue my heritage, I'm counting on you.
Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through.
My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest.
Remembering all, how I truly was blessed."

Thinking of you with love and sympathy.....

Although we live in New Jersey, Gladys and Mom (Frieda Schroeder) kept in touch over the phone and visited whenever they were in Chicago. Dad and Gladys were the relatives but Mom and Gladys really hit it off. We have many fond memories of visiting her home and will miss her. Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this sad time. I will gather the old photos and send to you. Both your parents were "party
