To the honeymooners and family,

Sorry about your loss. I will miss Ma very much. Now who will be my smoking partner? Thanks for everything you have done for me, and the many laughs.

We were so sorry to learn of Rita's passing. She and I worked together at Kemper Insurance 35 years ago. Rita was the streetwise kid from Chicago/Berwyn and I was the sheltered suburban brat. The other girls couldn't figure out why Rita and I would make such a connection. She and Steve fixed me up with a friend and we even double dated a couple of times. I bought the Steve's 1963(?) Bonneville which I then sold to my boyfriend - now my husband after he had an accident with it. Boy the memories. I only wish we had stayed closer than Christmas cards once a year. My deepest sympathies to you all.
