I was so sorry to hear of your mother's sudden and unexpected death. When we first moved to Libertyville your mother was so kind in helping me get Jim and Margi settled in at St. Joe's. I have never forgotten her kindness. It is so difficult to lose a parent. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. God bless you.

Barb and Phil were valued acquaintences of ours -- stalwart members of St. Joseph's Parish and Libertyville. Both will be sorely missed. Barb had great personal courage and endurance -- a wonderful role model.
