To Chris, Brad and Barb, Bob let me know about the home calling of your Mom. I remember so many great times with your family and the Kashians. Our Harms Woods outing every Friday evening were one of my favorite memories. Your Mom always playing the piano was another special memory. I know you will miss her but we all look forward to seeing everyone in Heaven one day. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you all in the days to come.
Fondly,
Karen (Legel) Coyle and Family

To Chris, Brad and Barb, Kathi and I were so saddened to hear about the passing of your mother. Truly is the ending of an era for the Evanston Chapel. I loved your mothers smile, sense of humor and kindness as well as you and your parents being so welcoming with my frequent visits. Thanks also Chris for informing me. The Legel family has been told and we all send our love, prayers, and replay so many sweet memories of your mother and family.
