My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I'm so very sorry for your loss of your mother, wife, grandmother and friend. May she Rest In Peace.

I want to let Chuck know that I am thinking about him and his loss and God bless him and his family . I always had good conversations when they both stopped by schnucks in normal to pick up carts of bread at the store

Always enjoy our time at Whitacre's to see Chuck and Helen (and kids). Helen was a very special lady, a pleasure to talk with and her legacy will certainly be celebrated and cherished forever. Our deepest condolences to the Whitacre familyd
