With both my family and myself's deepest regrets for the loss of my dear Aunt Lil. We all loved her as if she was our own mother and grandmother. She was loving and caring for everyone in her family ---a real jewel to all of those she touched. I'm attaching a picture of of 6 of my 8 grandkids with her in the center. The picture was taken 8/26/12. From left is Carlee (Bart) Hannah (Sheri), Hailey (Sheri), Emily (Howard), Jacob (Sheri), Aaron (Howard).

With all of our love,

Don Unger and Family.

Jordan:
I am sadden to hear about your mothers passing. I was just talking about her and how I always seemed to see your mom dad in the airport in Vegas when I went to CES. They were going out there to visit your brother. Both your parents were a part of my life growing up with you in Skokie and they will be missed very much.
