I worked with Nancy for several years at Harvey Kenitz' office on Fairview Avenue in Downers Grove. We also kept in touch for many years after. "Chrissy" took care of my son Tim when I went back to work in the early 80s. In the 70s I had an apartment in DG next to her son Dave.

Kathy, I was so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. She and your dad used to come over to our house if I was outside with Tracie. I have such fond memories of your parents. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love you, my dear friend. Linda
