Not sure what she loved more... The Beach Boys, making sure the nieces and nephews including great/nieces and nephews had a small ceramic piece at the holidays,or making sure we all treasured the moments of eating in the Walnut Room and seeing those Marshall Field Windows. Memories that will never be forgotten... Can't forget her amazing Cream Puffs..
