Loved your mother Sue....let's get together

I'm sorry to hear that your Mother passed. I have been thinking of her often for the past few months. I remember growing up with Randy and the fun times we had. I remember you Susie and the times we all spent at your house on Grand Ave.
Though I haven't seen either of you in years the memories of the two of you and your parents brings some of my fondest memories to my heart. You and your families and your parents are in my prayers. May God grant you the strength and courage in your loss.

dear cermak family,

my husband, john sullivan, worked for frank kanelos back in the early 60's and 70's and "ginny", as they called her, was one of his secretaries. she was so kind to him as a first time practicing lawyer. one of their favorinte times was fri evening, after office hours, when they would bring out the martini mixings and have an end of the week cocktail. we kept in touch for years and always exchanged Christmas cards. john passed away last Christmas eve and since i had already sent my card, i don't now if she ever knew of his death. she may have sent a note and i just don't remember - it was a busy time, with a holiday and a funeral. you have lost a wonderful, kind family member and i have lots of good memories of her. my sincere condolences. mary anne sullivan
