I have the wierdest story. I was researching my family history and the name Siobahn came up. Something told me to get a hold of her. Who else spells their name like that. I haven't seen her since high school and at the time she lived in Palos Hills. My deepest sympathies go out to the whole family! If somebody could relay my e-mail address to Siobahn I would appreciate it. [email protected]

We didn't see each other much, but when we did i always enjoyed our conversations & the great stories you would tell.Since i've been with Amanda for four years now, I know how much you meant to her and how much she looked up to you.
