Please accept my condolences on the loss of your mother. Catherine was my late mother's first cousin (Bernice Trinko Hoban). My grandma was Frances, Great Uncle Rudy's little sister. Catherine came to our house in Lombard for a Porod reunion in 1983 which made both my mother and grandmother very happy. I know how sad it is to lose a mother and I am deeply sorry.

Dear Camille and Kassie and Family,

I happened to come across your grandmother "Charlie's" (wondering if you still called her by this nickname) obituary tonight and just wanted to let you know how sorry I am about her passing. I remember how involved she always was in your lives and what a nice woman she was. I know you'll have lots of wonderful memories of her. God bless and comfort you during this difficult time. Your grandmother and whole family will be in my prayers.

I would like to extend condolences on your loss from my portion of the Porod descendants. My mother was Rose Porod (daughter of Otto).
