Dear Cullerton family, We are so sorry that we just found out tonight about Steve's passing, too late to make the services this morning. Please know that the entire Ostrander family sends our deepest condolences. The many, many memories my parents have of your mom go back to their high school days, through Elmhurst, their memorable trips together, and of course, from the earliest days on, at Marco. Our parents shared a unique and wonderful friendship. Your mom was a very special lady who was a perfect match to keep up with your dad, a very special man. Now Steve and Bill are laughing together forever in Heaven...As we fondly remember your mom (and dad), you are all in our thoughts and prayers. All of our love always, Bob and Joan, Chuck and Patti, Babs and Bill, and Erin and Russ

A wonderful lady and so much humor. First met Steve when I was sent to her home by my husband to include her in his idea to roast Bill for a promotional event. I was nervous but she quickly put me at ease by following her to the kitchen where 2 grandchildren were in highchairs and she handed me a spoon so that I could feel a little one while we talked. A truly beautiful lady.
