To the family of Mrs. Breen, I wanted to extend my sympathy to you for the loss of your mother. I knew your mother when she lived at Hamilton Place in Palatine. I worked in the office for 8 years so we would talk at least once a month when she paid the rent. She was a wonderful woman and so nice and I always enjoyed talking to her. I will always remember her.
