I know we haven't been in touch for many years but I just heard today about your mother's passing.
She (and your Dad) were some of the people I most remember from my childhood. My Dad worked for them and many a night was spent at Tony's Golden Keg with my Mom and Dad, Dick and Doris Kubis, hanging with the Feeney family. I have very fond memories of both your parents noteably your Mom's patience with the crowd of kids always hanging out around the house. Even today when I am in Brookfield I drive by and remember the good times! I know she will be missed by many and she was LOVED by all who met her.
Hopefully she will meet up with Tony, Dick and Val and have some more good times in Heaven, or not....they were always trouble, those three!
I have included a picture of my sister's Jackie, Debi, Mom and I.
God Bless You All.
