I am ... in shock too. I also worked with your Mom at Chicago Title and Trust in the 80's. She was an amazing lady and when we realized that your Dad and my Dad both worked at GE it made a special bond between us; it seemed. There are no words to express how deep the pain is for you and your family; please know you are not alone; the Sycamore community is feeling your pain and praying you and your family find some peace and comfort in knowing how much we all loved your family.

Wish we could be there to give you a hug. Your Mom, Dad, & Bob were great and welcomed the softball team to the farm with open arms. We pray that you will feel the comfort of Jesus arms during this difficult time.

Sue, Words do not seem adequate at a time such as this, but please know you are in my thoughts and prayers for God's comfort to pull you through this very difficult time. I have many happy memories of living across the street from your family and all the fun times we had. Your mom always made me feel welcome in your home. She was such a caring person. Bob was always fun and ready to give us a ride on his go-cart. They are in heaven now with your dad and Mike.

To the family of Pat Wilson.......
I can't tell you how horribly sorry I am for your loss. I worked with Pat at Chicago Title years ago (in the 80's??), and will always remember what a sweet, wonderful lady she was, and what a joy it was to have her for a co-worker.

Sue, thinking of you, Mike and Moo right now. Praying for some kind of answers. I loved your mom. I will miss her smile, her laugh, but most of all, her friendship. She meant the world to me. She treated my kids so kindly. I will never forget her kindness. She will be missed.
