Jeanne and I are very saddened and our deepest sympathies go out to you in this time of sadness aand loss. Lennie was a wonderful woman who I knew for most of my life and she always treated me as a member of her family. I remember as a small child visiting your place in Oak Lawn and the fun we had there and over the years seeing her at the various family functions and always having a laugh with her.

Jeanne and I are so glad that we got to visit with her last year when she was out here in Arizona and will always remember the laughs we had with her. I'm glad I got the opportunity to see her this summer when I was in Chicago twice, she had a great attitude and outlook on life even in her situation over the last several months and as always we had many laughs during our visits.

Take care and let us know if there is anything we can do. Unfortunately we will not be able to make it to the memorial service, but we will be thinking of her and all of your family during this sad time.
