Dear Kathy,
Somehow an old Sun-Times found its way into my hands yesterday and I paused at the obituaries to see you had lost your mother. My heart goes out to you and your family.
Since it is probably the only obituary I have read in the Sun-Times in years, it seems like I was meant to read it send you this. I hope we have a chance to reconnect.

With my deepest sympathy,
Jill Frederick Spratt
