Dear Pius Family,
I grew up in Joliet and was very good friends with Kari. My name is Amy Caldwell (Eichorst). I was so sorry to hear about Marylynn. I had her for a teacher at Joliet Central. She was a great teacher and inspired me to become a nurse myself. I work at St Joe's in the intensive care unit. I have thought of your family often over the years. My sincere condolences to you all.

Jerry & Family...
It's been so long that our paths have crossed in Florida but I sincerely offer
my condolences in this short period of sorrow. Marylynn had a great life on earth & is now in heavenly peace with the Lord.

Dear Pius Family:
We have been your neighbors for years now but have not taken initiative to get to know you very well. We wish that would have been different as we did not know of Marylynns illness until very recently. I would have had so much to talk to her about as acting, modeling and theatre have been a big part of my life as well. I'm so sorry that I did not make more of an attempt to open up sooner. Please know that we are deeply sorry for your loss and will be praying for your whole family.

To the Pius Family, I am so sorry to hear that one of my favorite teachers is no longer with us. It has been many years since I've seen her, but I often thought of her. I can remember she always had a sparkle in her eyes and a big beuatiful smile no matter how frustrated the students could make her. She will be greatly missed. May God bring you peace during this time of sorrow.

Mr. Pius and family,
Someone new has entered
our eternal home above
The heavenly gate has opened wide
to welcome one you love
We cannot help the tears that fall
our hearts need time to grieve
when earthly life has ended
and a loved one has to leave
Yet even in the saddest time
we know our Savior lives
and we can trust completely
in the promise thar He gives
that in a glad reunion with the Lord
our loved ones wait
to welcome us in joy with
no more tears beyond the gate!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you,
Henry & Rosa Lara

I worked with Mr. Pius at Joliet Central and Lincoln-Way and remember the wonderful stories he shared about his life with Mrs. Pius and their daughters.
May the Good Lord be with the Pius family.
