Dear Jennifer, Curtis, Abigail & Kaitlynn Van Horn,
I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother & Grandmother.We just finished another year of our Magic Mushroom program and I couldn't help thinking of your Mother/Grandmother. She was so nice to talk to, and share time with. She was so dedicated to Abigail & Kaitlynn. All of us have missed her fun , loving and outgoing spirit. She was one in a million! Although we hadn't seen her in quite awhile, she remained in my prayers.Please know that you and your family will remain in my prayers, as well as on our prayer list at Irving Park Lutheran Church. May God watch over you during this time of great loss.
With Depeest Sympathy,
Roberta Bole & Family
P.S. I am currently in graduate school on Tuesdays, so I am unable to attend her wake. Your Mother/ Grandmother highly valued education, and somehow I know she would understand.
