Lottie Byrd

Yes I too remember Marion! Great Roomies

I took great care of Ms Byrd for 19 yrs at Park. She was such a gracious, classy lady back in her day. I looked forward to being her Aide each time.
I fondly remember her, which lead me here. Wanted to salute her w love .

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Lottie was a special friend to our family,she went on several trips to St.Louis with us.She was one of the Rockford Peaches.She will be missed. Jackie Foreman & Family

Miss Lottie and my grandmother, Marion Horton, were best friends and roommates at Park Strathmoor for many years, and I was always so grateful that they had each other to talk to and to laugh with. Over the years Lottie became part of our family and I enjoyed seeing her so much when I would come home to Rockford to visit at Christmas time. I will never forget the day that my grandmother passed away when Lottie came to my grandma's bedside and said goodbye to her dear friend. I remember thinking to myself that I hoped to have someone say such a sweet goodbye to me when my time came, and I know that my grandma was as comforted by her words as I was. Over the years I haven't been able to get home so I hadn't seen Lottie but kept up with her through my mom, Connie Blomgren, who would stop by to visit with her. She was a lady with true faith and grace, with such a kind heart and wonderful spirit. I will always think of Lottie sitting by her window looking at the birds and butterflies with such a peaceful smile that it has always put a feeling of peace in my heart to remember it. May God give comfort to all of Lottie's family and friends, and I hope it will be of comfort to them also to know that she was so loved and will be so missed by so many. Sleep in Heavenly Peace, Miss Lottie. I will never forget you.

Lottie was a most elegant lady.
so thankful she graced our lives no matter who we were.

To the Family of sister Byrd know that you where truly bless to have your mother for so long. Remember God love her so much that he knew it was her time to be with him. I am praying for your strengthen. REV.MAE SMITH (THOMPSON)
