To Lillian's Family,
My sincere sympathy goes our to all of you upon the death of your dear Lillian. I will remember Lillian for her cheerful disposition, her kindness, her concern for others, and for her deep love of all of you,her family, as she described you during our knitting/crochet/sewing sessions on Tuesday mornings.

Lillian was always willing to help others, she looked for new and interesting patterns, and produced lovely items for charity.

I sat next to her at our large table since I joined the group a year ago. It will be difficult to be there without her.

May you find strength with each other during this sad time. May her memory always be with you.

Thinking of Lillian today on what would have been her 76th birthday. I went on many birdwalks with dear Lillian and will miss her companionship in the future. She was a genuinely lovely person in every sense of the word. Heartfelt condolences to her family.

Bob:
I saw your mother's obituary in the Tribune today. I am sorry to hear of her death. You, your family and your brothers and sisters have my sympathy. About two years ago I drove through the old neighborhood and saw your mom outside of the apartment building so I stopped and we talked for a while. Sam lives in Houston and Terry is a lawyer in Naperville. I will let them know of your mother's death. I have lost touch with Wolfgang. The last I knew, he was in Florida.

Mom,

I love you so much. I miss you. Thank you so much for loving me and cheering for me. I know you are proud of me.

Thank you for loving my children and Mika so completely. Porter and Becca know you had a special love for them and will always be richer because of it. The love you gave them will last a lifetime.

Mommy, I will always be your little boy. I love you and miss you every day.
