Barb- I was here in town because of the death of my father-in-law and saw the notice about your mother- I thought many times about stopping at the house and seeing if she still lived there and say Hi! I always thought it would be nice to get in touch again after all these years- I have many great memories of us growing up together- remember always playing school? Anyway, I am sorry to hear about your mother-my condolenses and prayers to you and your families.

Please accept my deepest sympathy, and know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Jo & I worked together at Glenbard North High School, and quickly became good friends. We had many fun outings, and lunch get togethers. I shall miss her and her laugh, but will treasure many fond memories.
