Murph as my mom called.her ( Betty Baer) was one of my mom's best friend. Weird part of I dream of her constantly. She was that awesome kind of friend everyone wants i know my mom enjoyed their friendship they played cards together

Marge was a wonderful friend and neighbor to our mother, Marie Finnegan, at the condo on 104th and Parkside in Oak Lawn. Marie felt privileged to be a teacher's aide at Marge's Oak Lawn preschool. We remember the way Marge could illustrate her stories with beautiful drawings on the chalkboard. Our deepest sympathy to all of you in her family.

Mrs. Skerrett was the pre-school teacher for both of my sons. We rented her home on Homan for a few months before we bought our own and she sold her home. Mike Skerrett was a very close friend of my brother - Rob (Bud) Balsewich. Lots of memories - all of them good. Our deepest sympathy to the entire family. She was a wonderful person!

Joe and Family:

Oh how I remember "Marge" as we so devishly called Mrs. Skerrett as kids! I will always think of your mom as the the mother of my most beloved babysitters (Mary and Ellen) and as the mother of my first crush (Joe). May your mother be at peace.

John's and my thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

I want to express the sympathy of my family on the death of your Mom. She was a great and loyal friend of my Mom, and I know they are together with the St. Columbanus group. I will remember her in my prayers. Love, Joan McKenzie Hurley.
