  • To Jane, Alan, Andrew and Abigail,

    Just wanted you to know that you are in my heart and prayers. I am so very deeply sorry for the loss of your mother, wife and grand mother. I don’t think I ever met Phyllis but I knew of her by the loving ways her daughter Jane told me about her. I definitely got the impression that she was a wonderful loving woman. And if she was a member of the “Red Hat Society” she is awesome and fun loving in my book any day. To the family especially Jane, I hope you will find comfort in your memories and that time and prayer will heal your broken hearts.

    In love, sympathy and best wishes,

  • Dear Lisa,

    I am very sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. I will always have fond memories of her friendly manner and creative spirit! I hope you are doing well and would love to catch up with you soon. Can’t believe we’re now 55 years old and Jenny will soon be 56! I’ll email her about your Mom. My Mom now 85 saw the news in the Kankakee paper and called to tell me about it. Charlie is retired and I’m now working for the new half of Abbott, called Abbvie. Both kids are in college. If you get a chance to send an email olsonce@comcast.net, I would love to reconnect. I miss you!

    Please pass along my sympathy to your Dad and sister. Love,

    Kathy
