She was a very special lady, we lived next door to her in Mazon. When my Mom passed away she was the first one at house besides family. She was so very easy to talk to and I have kept in touch with her since we moved to Tn. She will be sadly missed by both my husband and myself. Till we meet again. Jean and Jim Pritchard
