To those surviving my cousin Joan on the behalf of my sisters Emily Manz, Ann Vinkler and myself we wish to send our heartfelt condolences. I am sorry that my wife Camille and myself were out of time last week-end an didn't arrive back in the Chicagoland area until Saturday, February 7th. Sorry we were not able to attend any services.

A wonderful woman that was always an inspiration and shining light in my life. She is a role model for me and I will miss her always. My heart breaks a little, but I know that she is with her family and friends in Heaven. I can still hear her voice saying "Yeah, hi sweetie." Miss you, auntie
