Dear Al and Family,

I've been meaning to write all week and finally here I am. I'm so sorry for your loss. Connie was very sweet to me. You were the best neighbors ever: not nosy, not annoying, just nice, decent people. I have fond memories of just living next to you all. You always had such a nice lawn. Connie had such a nice boisterous laugh. I don't know what else to say, except we're thinking of you during this tough time. She's at peace and enjoying her new life in Heaven!

Remembering the start of your romance with Joanie on the south side of Chicago, and subsequent marriage at Saint Margaret's of Scotland R.C. Church on 99th St. Alfons, you hit a home run with Connie. Will miss her alluring smile and captivating eyes. It is our prayer that the good Lord bestow upon you and your family, His divine grace, peace and comfort at this particular time of your lives. We love you Al. Herb & Ginny Marohn `
