May the family find comfort in your time of sorrow and the days ahead. May you find comfort in knowing that God promise to get rid of death forever.

My husband worked with Bob and Sam Zell for a while. Bob and Ann invited us to their home several times...our kids were similar ages. She was always gracious and interested in our kids and what was going on in our lives. One of her kids and one of ours had similar issues and she shared with me research she had done that helped me understand my child better. There was a huge financial gap between what she and Bob had and what we had, but I always felt her warmth and interest. She and Bob were wonderful people! What a loss!
