Julie and Mari-Kay,
I woke up this morning thinking about your Mom and Carl and all of the wonderful memories of ballet and tumbling at their Oak Park studio in the 50's and 60's. I was so surprised and saddened to see your Mom's obituary. Your Mom and Dad were such a part of mine and my sister, Julie's, growing up years. We both treeasure those memories.

So much of who I am as a dancer comes from Mrs. E. Memories of her are entangled with my childhood so closely that it is as if she were a relative. She had a great spirit and was truly one of the most amazing people I ever met in my life. I know her loss will be so hard for you...I wish I had seen her one more time. The world was a much better place with her in it.

Hi...your mom was my ballet teacher in Oak Park. We lived across the alley on East Avenue. She brought us to Riverview Amusement Park, to do gymnastics in the Christmas parade! We had so much fun!! I appreciate all she did for the kids in the neighborhood. There was always the balance beam in the backyard. I also babysat for you girls...and I remember all the pets you had. She was a great lady!! Margie Zaccardi Gamboney

Julie,
As I told you Louise was my Hero. My fondest memories as a child were spent at your house and having cats walk across the table. I loved my dear cousin Louise. I wanted to grow up and be just like her. I hope I didn't let her down, I love my animals as if they were human. Louise will live on forever. She is certainly one of a kind. My children know everything about my adventures at your house and they will pass that on to their children. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Mindy
