My sympathies to the Kosiba family. Ellie was my secretary when I was the Data Center Operations manager at Sears. She was WONDERFUL and we became good friends. I saw her at one of the Sears Retireee monthly luncheons at the Cornerstone Restaurant - it was so nice since it was 1989 that I had left Ellie and moved to another managerial position. Anyway, I will always remember Ellie and all her kindnesses - a truly kind and thoughtful person. I am in Phoenix on vacation so I will be unable to attend the services. God Bless you all.

To The Kosiba Family,
My sympathy to all of you on the death of your mother. We had many days of fun (1944-1948), her staying at my house while students at St. Patrick's High School and attending different north side social events. May God hold her in the palm of His hand till we meet again.
