Dear Jim,
I was so very sorry to hear of your loss of Doris. You and Doris were so very dear to me and I will never forget how you drove all the way to Orland Park to visit me after I lost my husband. Thank goodness you have so many loving family members to comfort you at this time. My thoughts are with you. Love, Linda

Dear Jim, Phyllis, Dick, Ben, Donna and all. Words cannot express the sincere loss I feel at Doris' passing. She truly embodied the meaning of the word "mensch". She was a blessing and she will be missed beyond reason. Our hope is that you find comfort in knowing how much she was loved by so many and how she touched all those who crossed her path. We were so very lucky to have had her in our lives. I loved her deeply and will miss her always. Craig's and my heartfelt condolences. Love, "Joanie" & Craig
P.S. Mom was the only person I let call me Joanie.
