Dear Diane and Bill, we are so sorry to hear about Mrs. Burke, she will always have a special place in my heart. She and my Mother where real buddy's. Diane, remember your driving lessons to school? Your Moms most used words "Diane you are drifting". Or how about her trying to teach us how to knit. A lot of good memories living in Morton Grove. See you on Monday. Love Leona & Tony
