Chuck & Donna & family, So sorry to hear about your mother's passing. My condolances. My parents are both gone now and I still miss them. We've lost touch since college but I think of you often. I'm still in the same place in Lombard... give me a call!

To Nancy, Chuck and Glen:

We had many good time with both your mother and father. They were both very good friends of ours. Skiing and Playing cards. Your Dad and Frank would ski and your Mother and I would play cards while the men were skiing up at Christmas Mountain. Good memories.
Now they are both at rest and with our Lord.
Lots of Love
Frank and Marlice
