Ray,

You must remember me...Joe's sister. I am sorry to hear the news of your mother's passing. You are fortunate to have had her with you so long.

What a dear, sweet lady. Gino's on Rush and the parade were great each year, but the best part of all my Chicago trips was having breakfast the morning after in her West Chicago home. She was always concerned that the coffee she prepared for me wouldn't taste good. She always asked about Sue and the girls and wanted to know what they had done the past year. And of course, we both shared stories about Raymond. I miss you Mrs. Wilson.

In God's love, Pat

Ray,



I am very sorry about the passing of your mother. Your mother was a very gracious and kind person and always treated me well.



My best to you and Lori always.
