"I wish to extend my condolences to your family. Your mother and I were more than co-workers at Bethany Terrace in Morton Grove, Ill. We were best of friends. We traveled together and shared many holidays and family celebrations. Whether we were in Lousiana visiting my daughter, in Michigan picking blueberries, or in my basement working on ceramics, we always had a good time. She was a wonderful friend and will be missed."
In loving memory of
