Jan was a neighbor on Dell Road in
Northbrook some 40 years ago, and
we were good friends. I would have
been at the funeral, but was on
vacation.......I just found out
about this recently. My family
joins me in sending our love
and condolences to Jan's family.

Dear Mike, Patty, and Melanie,

Janet just told me today of your Mom's passing. I am so sad. Your Mom was always so gracious, warm and welcoming. We always knew we could count on her if we needed anything. Even when I called her about my mom such a short time ago...

We so appreciated that you all were at the service for Mom, I am truly sorry I did not know in time for you. My thoughts and prayers are with you. May you find comfort in memories eventually.

If there is anything I can do, or you want to talk, please contact me. Suzy Glenn Salerno

Michael,

Alan Meserow told me about your mother's parting from this world. Please accept my condolences. According to Jewish tradition there is a saying that helps begin the healing process. We say it every time we depart from the mourner in the first week of his or her loss, "May G-d comfort you among the other mourners of Zion and Jerusalem."

I am sad to lose my very special friend and have many wonderful memories to keep me company for the rest of my stay on this earth. I will remember her best for her sense of humor, her love of family and
friends and her feisty nature that kept her going when others might
have stopped. She has been a special gift in my life and I will miss
our catch up calls between Chicago and Boulder. I know you are at peace.
