I appreciate Molly calling and letting us know about Nancy's passing.She was a wonderful, kind woman. Every year until my youngest daughter, Katie, reached eighteen she would send her a birthday card with five dollars in it. I'm sorry I wasn't able to attend the funeral due to having had recent surgery. My sympathy to all the Mayo Family.

Dear Kim and Family,
I was sorry to learn of your Mother's death. I saw the death notice in the paper. I know it's been a long time since we have seen each other, but I wanted to expres my sympathy and let you know how sorry I am. From reading the other entries in the guest book, your Mother was very loved, and a remarkable person.
I hope that you will find comfort in knowing that she is at peace and that others share in your sorrow.
With Deepest Sympathy...

I was so sorry to hear about Mrs. Mayo. Our family grew up with the Mayo's in Des Plaines & Schaumburg. They were a wonderful, close family that was very well liked by all. My mom, Candy, & sisters Judy (Barnes) & Lynnda (Larson) all are thinking of the family at this.

Dear The Mayo Family,
I am so sorry about the loss of Mrs. Mayo. Ever since I met Kelly (and the Mayo family) about 18 years ago, I was always treated like family. It is easy to see what a wonderful and caring mother and grandmother she was just by looking at the incredible family she raised.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this very difficult time.
Love,
Jill

Dear Kim, Jim, Lauren and Meredith:
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Kim, I know I kept running into you at Alexian Brothers. You asked me why I was there, but I never got a chance to ask you why you were there.(You were always talking to someone.) I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom. It turns out my Mom passed away on March 7, she suffered so much, too. You won't believe this, but my Mom's maiden name was Mayo! Her birthday was Feb. 15 (1932). She was born in Missouri. In fact,...
