Not sure what to say?

August 12, 2009
I am so saddened to just learn of the passing of Mrs. O'Reilly when looking at the Tribune archives. The Kruckeberg family carries life long fun filled childhood memories of the dear O'Reilly family. I believe our Red Star Club usually started at your home. You had the best carport for Four Square and Kick the Can. Sue and Deb – you must admit to being in the group of girls that abruptly left a game when one of our moms let us know that Dr. Kildare came on. I know I...

Lori hosted many happy visits and was a great support as Aunt and Great Aunt for our young growing family. I still remember those times with much fondness. My thoughts and prayers are with the O'Reilly and Peppin families at this time of great loss.

Deb, Jack, and family, I am thinking and praying for comfort and peace to your families. It is always hard to lose a parent espcially close to the holiday season. I do remember some early grade school memories at the O'Reilly home. May you come to know that your wife, mom is in the best place for her.

To Jack and the whole family,

Our heart felt sympathy to you all with the passing of Lori. I am sure "Edwa" and others were waiting for her to arrive. We know that she has left to go to a better place, yet we still feel the loss. Please know that she and you all are in our prayers.

Dear O'Reilly Family;
Our heartfelt sympathy on your loss. Many fond memories of gradeschool/highschool days at the O'Reilly home. What I remember about Mrs. O'Reilly is her laugh...beautiful!!
Hugs to you all...Love Julie and Bob Rowley (Belanger)

Dear Sue,
We are all very saddened at the loss of your mother and want you to know our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. This is a great time to remember the wonderful years you shared with your mom and cherish those memories. Our sincerest sympathies to you and your entire family from the FMP Group at NWA.
Donna, Lori, Doug, Mark and Bob.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. Lori was always there for me and helped me in so many ways. She was the best sister-in-law a person could have. God will hold her in his loving hands. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for any of you.

Deb,
I am very sorry to hear about your Mother. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Deb, Thinking of you and your family.
Our prayers are with you.
