Mr. K, Gary, Kim, Neal, and Allison, I was so sorry hear about your Mom passing. I know that you all will miss her. I have such good memories of how funny she was and how friendly all of you were to let us big, sweaty high school guys invade your backyard and downstairs basement. As I right this, I am reminded that we were in your basement watching your TV when Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. Wow! So many good memories of your Mom come back. You are all in my prayers.

Dear Kazragis Family-
I remember your mom as a kind and cherished friend of my moms, Marge
Adams. I have very fond memories of growing up as good friends and neighbors of your family in Oak Lawn. My mom passed away on Jan. 2, 2013. I miss her so much still. I know now they are together again, and
it brings peace to my heart, as I hope it does yours. I will keep your mom
and all of you in my daily prayers. May Our Dear Lord keep you strong during this most difficult time.
Sincerely, Peggy Adams/Condon
