Dear Patti, Bill & Family,



We were so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.



We wish we were in Chicago to attend the services, but living in Arizona makes it impossible.



We hope that your entire family is comforted by wonderful memories of your mother. May Geri rest in peace.



With love & deepest sympathy,



Suanne, Ray & Raymie Humbert
