Have not seen Marlene or Joe for that matter for many years. Joe and myself go back to Back of the Yards, 43rd and South Marshfield. When he married Marlene and moved and then hit the lotto, only saw him once at Shaffer Lake in Indiana. Holy family, I wish to extend my sincere sorrow for your loss. If you can, please ctc my email, keep wondering about Joe and his passing. Thank you.

Mrs Holy will always be remembered fondly by my entire family! She was a SS Cyril Mother who was like a mother to ALL of us while we were in school! Her enthusiasm in everything she did was contagious! She was so much fun! I can't imagine what our grammar school life would have been like without her! Our sympathies to the family that has mourned the loss of her spirit over the duration of her illness, you are in our prayers.
