We are deeply saddened to hear of "Mike's" passing. We will always remember the holiday and other family gatherings with her and Pop. It wouldn't have been Christmas without her wonderful pumpkin and mincemeat pies.

Mike was a fun person to be around, everybody loved her. She loved all animals and birds and they returned that love.

We will miss her dearly as she was an important part of our family.

I will always remember "Mike" as one who gave so much of herself to others. She was always volunteering her time and talents to help others, whether it was to the Econony Shop of Oak Park, Il., the gift shop of West Suburban Hospital or to a friend or family member. She gave so much to others and asked so little in return. I have such fond memories of her at all of our family gatherings while growing up. She will be deeply missed by all who she touched while here. Our deepest sympathies go out to all who were blessed enough to know and love her.

Our deepest sympathies, thoughts & prayers go out to your family. My name is Sean Cameron, son of Barb & Bruce Cameron and grandson of Jean Guy. "Mike" was always a thoughtful and caring part of the family. I still remember going to their house when I was very young and watching "Pop" paint pictures and Mike making cookies. We were so saddened when we heard the news and wish we could attened the funeral but because of the short notice are unable to.
