To the Katznelson family, Having been your neighbors for many years in Morton Grove, I have many fond memories of your family from the time your house was built -- even your dad yelling at my brothers for shooting beebee guns in the back yard and the pellets going into your yard and waiting for the school bus with Terri. Where does the time go? It is hard to see our loved ones become more frail and fade; loss is very difficult. From my family to yours, our heartfelt sympathies go out to you!



I cannot make it to the funeral due to a work conflict but will see you before Saturday. My brothers and dad (he's visiting one of my brothers out of town) send their condolences as well.



Sincerest sympathies from my family to yours,

Sheri Keigan
