Aunt Marge:I wanted so much to make it up to see you this week, but I know you are in a better place. I will miss you and Uncle Herman. You both were such an inspiration to me as I was growing up. Til we meet again.

Grandma, I will always remember the wonderful times that were shared. You accepted me as part of the family without hesitation and for that I will always be grateful. Rest in peace knowing that everyone that knew you knew they were loved.

Some of my very best memories come from the times I spent with Aunt Margie and Uncle Herman growing up. I went to my first baseball game in 1959 on a visit to Chicago. The White Sox beat Cleveland 5-2. Nellie Fox, Luis Aparicio, Ted Kluzewski, Jim Landis and Sherm Lollar all played for the Sox that day. As you can see, it made an impression on me. She was more like a friend than just someone I was related to. She was a world class hostess and her kindness extended to my own kids who I brought up to Chicago to see Mariott's Great America in the early 80's. She accepted my wife into the family unhesitatingly, and treated her like kin from day one. Terry always appreciated that. As Kenny Chesney sings, "That's the Good Stuff." Aunt Margie, you're the "good stuff." We miss you.
