Not sure what to say?

I sent you a letter in response to your question if I was a relative. I'm not; but I did date your Mother a few times in high school and knew her for over 60 years. I also knew your Dad from Fenwick and from his job. They were two outstanding people. Great, generous friends. You were blessed; Jack Flynn

Liz, Ed and family: Barbara and I send our sincerest condolances on your loss. We only met Pinky once or twice, but she certainly made an impression as a delightful and fun loving woman.

I have only fond memories of Pinky reading "Winnie the Pooh" books to me and making me giggle with delight at her antics - such fun for a little girl! She was a lovely, loving woman - I was proud to call her my godmother. Blessings on you all.

The World is very short of girls like Pinky; loving, humorous, helpful, upbeat
and never complaining. Thanks for so many good memories since 1950.
Jack Flynn

Liz, Ed & family,
We're very sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Joann...You will be missed by all of your Realtor friends in Lake Forest.I am so happy that I had the wonderful experience of working with you for so many years.

I was so shocked to hear the news, since we just chatted and renewed friendship & memories when we saw each other less than 10 days ago!!

We will miss Pinky! She was always so gracious, warm and loving! I have such great memories of you all coming to our house for various holidays, and us going to Pinky's. She and my Mom are having cocktails in heaven!
