Dear O'Reillys: Please accept our sympathy for your loss. What an amazing, accomplished woman your mother/grandmother was! She was articulate, intelligent, and a joy to be around. I will always remember the early days in Lincolnwood; the visit to Albany; and her unending faith, truly an inspiration to others.
Sincerely, Cynthia (Graff) Robbins and family
