Germaine Rooney Obituary

Dear Jack and family, I was stunned to read of Germaine's passing. We were close friends at Mundelein College, graduated together, and if you remember, I stood up to your wedding. Recently I was looking at photos from those wonderful years, thinking of Germaine, and planning to get in touch. This really tears me to the core, as I hoped we would reconnect,especially with the 45th reunion coming up at Mundelein (now Louola) this fall. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. Sincerely, Christine Bobka (Mundelein '65).

Jack, I was heartbroken to hear of Germaine's passing. She was so wonderful, and always made everyone feel at home. She will be greatly missed. My prayers are with you, your children, and your grandchildren.

Dear Jack, Kathy , Colleen, John and all the Grandchildren,
My heartfelt condolences to you all. As you may or may not know, I received a letter from Germaine on Jan.16th. written on Dec. 20th and postmarked Phoenix Jan.14th. I left for two weeks in California the day after her letter arrived. I know it must have taken great effort to write it and my heart just aches that she struggled so hard to be postive in the face of her battle. I did write her a letter when I got to California, but, of course, I don't know whether she recieved it before her death and passing into her new life free of pain and struggle--surely hope so.
I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow-Thursday. How many fun and happy memories I have of the Rooney family!! My love and hugs to you all.
