Dear Mayor Daley and Daley Families-

I would like to personally extend my deepest sympathies to you and your families on the death of your mother. I would also like to extend sympathies on behalf of the entire Nimietz family. My Uncle Frank who ran for alderman years ago against Charlie Weber I think in the 45th ward if I am not mistaken knew your parents very well and always spoke very highly of them. Being a personal friend of your fathers and working in City hall for years he always thought and spoke very highly of you as well and would have been very happy to have known that you paid your respects at his own wake quite a few years ago already.

We know how difficult it is in saying good-bye to a loved one, especially when the grand one is your own mother and in a sense the mother of all Chicago.

Our hearts-thoughts and prayers will continue to be with the entire Daley family.

In remembrance-

Michael Nimietz

(great nephew of the late Frank Nimietz)

Dear Mayor Daley and Family,

I would like to express my deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother. She lived a long and fruitful life and finally God took her to her home that He prepared just for her. A place of peace and love where there is no more pain and suffering. Know that the Blessed Virgin Mary was there and opened her mantle with loving arms around your mother. To lose a mother is one of the hardest things in life to go through; but with God's help and praying, you will get through these darkest days. May her soul rest in eternal peace, knowing that one day we will all be together once again.

As it says in the Bible,"Do not let your hearts be troubled, have faith in God have faith in me".

God's Blessings and Healing Graces to you and your entire family.

My deepest sympathy to the Daley Family. The hardest thing about growing up is having to say good-bye to those who loved us unconditionally. Their unconditional love is a wonderful gift that we cherish the rest of our lives. No one will ever replace them and we will forever miss them but the treasured memories we have collected all our lives while they were with us will last a lifetime. When we are troubled open the treasure chest of memories and those words of support they always gave to us to help us get thru will guide us thru the tough times.

We want you to know our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. You were blessed to have your Mother with you for 95 years. May you all continue in the steps your Mother lead you.

Our sincere condolences to the Daley famoly on the loss of their beloved SIS. She was a great lady whose warmth and kindness will never be forgotten. She never forgot anyone.

To the Daley Family:

I had the privilege to meet your mother along with your Dad at a function some years ago and was so very impressed with her 'family homeliness' that I would, at a later date, mention it to your father and his instant remark was "ain't she something". My condolence and prayers are with her memory Rich. Family is everything.

My deepest sympathy goes out to the Daley Family. I just lost my grandmother this month and I know the pain and emptiness you are feeling. My prayers are with you all!

The Hanley Family, formerly of Saint David Parish, send their deepest sympathy on the loss of Mrs Daley.

Just another warm hearted story of your Mom.I entered the Sisters of Mercy from the west side of Chicago. Visiting day was always difficult because my family didn't have a car and,therefore, came on public transportation. I don't know if you know this,Pat,but shortly before your final profession day, your Mother called my mother and several others on the west side and offered to send a car to pick them up. My mom's response was,"Barbara doesn't have visiting that day". Your Mother replied,"Come for the ceremony. You'll probably see your daughter and maybe get some time to visit". My Mom and several more were driven to the ceremony and got to see their daughters and have a visit. My Mother never forgot that.Your mom had never met my mother, but she knew that all the mothers would like a little visit with their daughters. My prayers are with you during these difficult times. You were blessed to have her so long.

To Peter Thompson and the Daley family. My deepest sympathy on the loss of your dear "Gram." Her life symbolized the lives of many Chicago Irish Catholics of her generation. Like my own grandmother-her focus was family-and we were all fortunate to have such wisdom to guide us. I didn't know this until recently but my grandmother and the late Mayor attended grade school together, I have a photo from the 2nd(?) grade.

Peace.

Chicago will miss Eleanor Daley, and especially the Bridgeport neighborhood where she lived her entire life. The Archy Road (Archer Ave.) area near the Old Saint Bridget's Parish was where the Guilfoyle family grew up. She called me a few years ago when I was conducting research into our family genealogy. The Flanagan and Guilfoyle families were linked through marriage. Her knowledge of the neighborhood and family history was very influential to my research efforts. It was through this single contact, that an unknown distant relative sent me the genealogical data and photos to complete the family tree. Her passing away will forever change the Bridgeport neighborhood, and we hope that some day a memorial would be dedicated to honor the lifelong dedication that she had for the area.

We offer our most sincere condolences to the Daley family.

very sorry for your loss. the daleys are what chicago is made of. my father was a chicago fireman and was so proud to meet mayor daley back in the old days. god bless sis daley and family, jerry healy and family.from the south side(roseland) years ago.

To the Daley Family



The following says it all about a great lady. All Chicago will miss her.





TO MY CHILDREN



My eyes are closed; my heart is quiet;

My life is in stillness.

Yet, will I not always see you?

And always listen to you?



You have always been my treasure,

My hope, my promise.

our life has been mine;

My life has been yours.

Should it be different now?



Is not your life still much of my life?

Is not your life still much of my love?

Could I ever grow tired of your

joys and celebrations?

Could I ever turn away from your

sufferings and loneliness?

Would you mind if I still smile at your foolishness?



Remember, I am your Mother.

If I had failed you…then

your sorrow would be long.

If I neglected you…your

Suffering would be unbearable.



But from the moment of your

Life to the moment of my death,

I have given you strength;

I have given you warmth;

I have given you peace.



I know you won’t forget me…

But I want to be remembered

most of all in the love you

share with each other,

and with your friends;

in the love you share with

the lonely, and with the friendless.



Come let us celebrate together

Our life’s work;

Let us put aside our sadness…

And rejoice in all these

Priceless moments spent together.

Come, let us celebrate your life… and mine.



Do not stand at my grave and weep;

I am not there. I do not sleep.

I am the thousand winds that blow;

I am the sunlight on ripened grain;

I am the gentle autumn’s rain.

When you awaken in the mornings hush,

I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quite birds in circled flight.

I am the soft star that shines at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry.

I am not there, I did not die.
