Maggie,

I know it has been years since we last spoke, but I have always thought about you and the girls. I just found out about Jenny after reading the article today in the Sun-Times. Tears rolled down my face as I recall our childhood memories. My heart goes out to you and your family. I am sorry that I missed the wake and funeral and hope to see you soon.

Your smile, your laughter
-Only a memory.
Your voice, your personality
-Only a memory.

Some people mention your name.
Some just keep quiet.
But no matter what is or isn’t said.
You’re always on someone’s mind.

Two days have gone by,
But it will always seem like only yesterday,
You were by your family’s side.

We can only think of who you’d be,
To us, you only remain a memory.

It’s been a short while since you’ve been gone.
For your friends and family, things just aren’t the same.

It still doesn’t seem real.
Who holds the blame?

If love could have saved you,
You’d still be here today.
The love we hold for you,
Will never change.

As you lay in a still rest,
God broke our hearts to prove he took the best.

Everything you did, everything you were. It’s only a memory.

From all your friends on Kedzie!Jenny We will greatly miss you.
Feel free to contact me.
