I know Antoinette Repa as Mrs. Repa. I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Repa a number of years ago through Jim Gale and his relationship with her. She always remembered me from Jim's wedding in California when I offered her a ride back to the hotel. She never forgot that. Also the relationship Jim Gale had with Mrs. Repa is a true example of unconditional love and kindness for another. The lesson I learned from both is that you never know the impact of a random act of kindness. I am forever grateful to Mrs. Repa (and Jim Gale) for making this a reality for me. Fondly, Eileen Murphy

I was very saddened to learn of Antoinette's passing. She and my grandmother (Susan Kattany) were good friends from St. Clare until my grandmother's death in 1996. I have many fond memories of their afternoons spent wiling away their time at the donut shop at 55th and Mozart. Mrs. Repa was a wonderful woman and a good friend to my grandmother and the other ladies who frequented the donut shop and the many organizations (Holy Name Society, Senior Citizens Group, etc.) at St. Clare. I hope she has met up with my grandmother and they are sharing a cup of coffee and some neighborhood gossip up in heaven.

Dear Mrs.Repa, We love you so much. You will be missed alot. The "Gale" family met you in 1957 and you and Uncle Joe became instant "family" to us. You have been there through our happy moments and through our tears. You have been such a pillar of strength to all who have had the pleasure to have known you. Thank you for sharing your life and your love... You will be missed...
