Dear Family of Rose Mary Riley:

I am writing on behalf of myself and my mother, Grace Cunneen. She and your mother were privileged to enjoy friendship for your 70 years. On a recent visit they reminised about the day your mother and father got engaged. They worked together long before any of us came into their lives.
How blessed you were to have such a fun-loving, caring, mother for so many years. Her house was always filled with laughter and joy. She spoke of the Sunday gatherings. How thrilled she was with her new great-grandchild.
We have offered to bring Mom from Indiana for the visitation, but she feels it would be too much. She will cherish their friendship and their last visit.
I, too, always felt her great smile was a part of my life. Please know we will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincere sympathy.

Barb and family: Please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother. How lucky you were to have had her with you for so many years! I now live in Rockford and still work part time, so I am unable to attend the services but I wanted you to know I am thinking about you. God bless. Marilou (Schneller) Knutson, LFH Class of 1961
