To the Family of Fannie Hazel Tosh, My sincere condolences on the loss of your loved one. I am a member of the Joliet Il Cantigny VFW Ladies Auxiliary. As is our custom, we check the Herald every day so we can honor our deceased sisters. Although Fannie was not a member of our Post, just reading her obituary was an inspiration. What an amazing woman! She is truly a patriot and a fine human being.
I thank her for her service and pray for her gentle rest.
Sincerely, Alba Jensen, Cantigny 367 Ladies Aux
