Hi Marie - Can I ever forget my visits to Foster Avenue and then on to Franklin Park.



Was your mother ever in a bad mood - she was always kind and generous to some giggly teen age girls.

Love Catherine 8/30/02

Hi Marie, When I talked to Cathy B this morning she mentioned your mom passed away and had been buried here in the Chicago area very recently. As I recall her saying, your mom was 97!



I was back in the old neighborhood with Cathy just last week,and we saw your old place. I remember your mom and how you resembled her in looks and in mannerisms. This is just to say I'm thinking about you, and I hope hers was an easier passing.



As Cathy suggested, I'll let Cathie Osada and Carol Natke know also (they are on email).



Sincerly,

Barbara

Dear Marie

My sister saw the notice this afternoon at three o'clock so I was

unable to attend and personally tell

you how sorry I am at your loss. My

mother died two years ago its never easy no matter how long you've been

fortunate enough to have time together.
