Helen Gorman Obituary

HI Gormans,



I worked with you'r mother at RHD. She would have loved the Obit--knowing her it sounds like she could have written it. She was the First boss I had in Area 5.and there was never a dull moment when Helen was around. You must have wonderful memories of her-you are blessed

I'm sorry to read of your loss. Your mom's obituary was the most genuine and heartfelt I ever read and I shared it with many friends. I'm sorry I did not have the opportunity know your mother, she seems to have enjoyed life. I'm sure she is smiling.

I didn't know your mom but I now know that I wish I had. Your obituary/tribute to her was very heartfelt and was truly a testament to how loved she must have been. I cut it out of the paper yesterday and I read it to my mom and my grandma (who is Gigi's age--that's why your mom's obit caught my eye in the first place). Deepest sympathies on your loss, I know you loved her and she will be missed. How lovely that so many other people will now remember her too, thanks to your loving tribute.

I am merely a reader of the Chicago Tribune, but had to comment on your very original obit for your mom. At first, I didn't know how to take it, but upon a second reading, I realize that she was a very loved lady. She would have probably loved her obituary! I just lost my mom, too, in May, and as saddened as I am, your description of your own mom brought a smile to my face. You have my deepest sympathies. I'm sure fond memories will be with you always.

Dearest Gormans et.al.

I have had the good luck to at least have met the majority of you, and even spent time with your mother on various occasions. The obit somehow manages to capture the essense of all. My deepest sympathies for her loss. She lives on in each of you.

I've never been so entertained by an obituary until now! This explains a lot about those fun-loving Gormans. Bob and Marge, my sympathies on the loss of this most special person. --- Marge

DEAR GREG AND FAMILY, PLEASE ACCEPT OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY AT THE LOSS OF YOUR MOTHER. WE ONLY MET HER A FEW TIMES BUT SHE WAS A BEAUTIFUL PERSON. AGAIN ACCEPT OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY. JOHN "AGNEW" & LIZ HEBDA

My dad (with whom I work) just passed me your mom's obit in the Trib. She sounds like a wonderful soul who will be missed. You did her proud with this obit. I didn't know her, but wish I had. From what you wrote, we don't have enough GiGis these days. Thanks for sharing her with all of us.

The best obituary I've ever read! Bless you!

How very fortunate you were to have shared a portion of your lives wth this wonderful woman.



Tho I will never know her, she brought a smile to my face today...one that I shared with those I love.



I regret your loss. She was certainly a special woman.

Dearest Greg, Bobby, and Candace,

Sue Vittorio just called me and I read the obit on the Internet. It was absolutely fabulous! You know how very much I loved GiGi. I feel honored to have been one of her daughters-in-law.

Thom Blondell called me sometime ago and told me to buy a copy of that day's Sun Times, and there she was in an ad for O'Brian's! What a woman. We're all lucky she touched our lives. Please accept my condolences and know that you're in my thoughts.

What a truly remarkable statement of love to a truly remarkable woman.....you know she is smiling

This sounds like an entry that would suit our family well. We are truly sorry for your loss. You are lucky to have had such an interesting lady as an influence on your life.

To the Gorman Family:



What a great mom you had. I don't know her and I don't know any of you, but I do know that she was a very special lady.



My prayers are with you and your family. However, if you are anything like your mom, I'm sure you will all go on in the spirit that she intended for her loved ones. How lucky you all were.

A very interesting obit for a truly interesting lady!

My sympathies to the Gorman family.I worked with your Mom in the Training Department in 1980-81.She always had a smile and time to answer any questions from a young,raw,26 year old.Lots of laughs with your Mom,Bob Brennan & Walt Chase.Ironically today is my 23rd anniversary with Donnelley & your Mom gave me a very good base to become a manager for 8 years.I hope I have her energy down the road.My prayers are with your family.
