Bob, we are so sorry about your loss. Know that you are in our hearts and prayers.
Our very deepest sympathy on the passing of Mary. I will always hold special memories of times when the kids were growing up and always how she took the time to stop and chat as she walked through the neighborhood. A very, very sweet lady.
I moved to Elmhurst right before my freshman year at IC. Putsen made me (the new kid) feel welcome … walked me home from school. I always remember her kindness. Sleep in peace.
Joanna, please know how incredibly sorry & sad we are. We have such wonderful fond memories of Mary~ always smiling and so FUN to volunteer with! Specifically I remember, years ago- a rainy Haunted Forest Walk we worked together~ we were collecting tickets in LONG line – your mom had me laughing and the time just flew by! Truly an amazing beautiful woman! With Love and our deepest sympathy to you & your family.
We are sorry about your loss. We learned the news from Sid and Jill Lambert who texted us . We felt bad and have good memories about her. The last time we met her in 2002. She is a sweet woman. We communicated by pen and paper. She liked to write with each others. We miss her. Pray for your family.
