Dear Katie, Tricia and Mike,
I was so sad to learn of your mother's passing at a service at St. Patrick's Church in St. Charles. I was honored to work with her as a school nurse at the North Building, adjacent to St Charles East HS. (now Wredling Middle School).
She loved you dearly and always talked about each of you with me daily. I loved her warmth and fun spirit. We shared many stories of faith and answered prayers.
Know that I will be in prayer for your family and, for Ed and his children, whom I never had the opportunity to meet, as I lost touch with your Mom when she left her service at D303..I look forward to the promise of seeing her again, as God has promised. She will be dearly missed.

Mary Jo may have been my first "Best Friend". While I haven't seen her in many years, I'm sure Mary Jo was still as sweet and kind as the girl I grew up with. I am very sad to hear of her passing.
