Dear Ed and the Blough family,

I am very sorry for your loss. Your mom, grandma, and great grandma touched my life and so many other lives throughout her 72 years. I have many fond memories of the times we spent together up at the lake and at 9245 Damen Avenue. She always welcomed everyone with an open door and an open heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
