I was so sorry to learn of Jerry's death. She was a good RRC friend that I looked forward to seeing at our regular Wed lunch. She was an active participant in life - looking up services, connecting people with others, being interested in new topics. I and the other lunch participants miss her.

Noelle, Brian and extended family, I mourn with you. Your mom and dad were wonderful characters in the memories of my early life growing up in Dolton. So very sorry to hear of your mom's passing, but I am comforted from knowing that she had a fast track ticket to join your dad who had waited so long for her. She will be missed, but her constant kindness and relentless spirit will live on in our memories forever. I have so many great recollections from their welcoming home on Woodlawn, St. Mary's, weekend camping trips, etc. :) God bless you and your family - prayers coming from Texas for all of you.
