Nancy I. Kalita

To Nancy's Family,

I will always remember the wonderful mornings my son Henry (and I, too) spent at Anderson center last year. Nancy was such a fun loving and cheerful person -- always with a glitter in her eye -- an example to all of us!

In deepest sympathy,

Dear Joe, Tim, and Ryan,
I was deeply saddened when I learned of Nancy's death just yesterday. I went to grade school with Tim and Ryan and I used to spend my afterschool time at their house. Nancy was the kind of Mom that as I kid I wanted to be around all the time. She was kind and caring and had a real love for everyone. I played the saxophone in 4th grade and when I would walk to school with Tim and Ryan, she would carry my saxophone for me all the way to school. It was probably a...

Joe and Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I remember Nancy as a good neighbor and a woman who truly loved children. Her smile and warmth will be missed.

Dear Joe,

We wanted to express our sympathy and extend our condolences to you and your family on Nancy's passing. Please know that you, Timothy and Ryan are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Joe, Ryan and Tim,
We remember Nancy with a ready smile and such warmth. We learned of her death only today and were so shocked and saddened. Please accept our heartfelt condolences and may you find comfort in your memories of wonderful times spent together. The Koenig Family

Nancy and Joe have been both friend and collegue for over 20 years; to know them is to love them. My daughter Ryan was in Nancy's first Anderson pre-school class and the positive impressions left by Nancy will last a life time. She was a true angel in more ways than one and will be missed enormously, but NEVER forgotten. Thank you Nancy being in our lives.

Dear Joe & Family: Please accept our deepest sympathy on the loss of Nancy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Joe, Ryan and Tim,
I never met you Joe, but I sure heard a lot about both you and the boys in the 13 years that I was Nancy's boss at the Park District. I was both shocked and saddened to hear of her passing. She was a joyous person to have around and never failed to bring good cheer to any situation. She was always supportive of new ideas and enjoyed being involved with every aspect of early childhood programming. Her loving care for the children she taught will be remembered for many...

Dear Mr. Kalita, Tim and Ryan,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you suffer the loss of Nancy.

Noelle was her preschool student for two years. She was a kind and nurturing teacher who helped children learn that school could be a wonderful place.

Long after Noelle was out of preschool, she took every opportunity to go back to Andersen Center to say hi to Mrs. Kalita. Nancy seemed to remember all of her former students, no matter how much time had...
