My prayers and thoughts are with Vera's family. Many years ago I worked with her at Illinois Bell in Hinsdale. She was a good friend and we had fun working together. I am sorry we didn't keep in touch, but that happens often. I also knew Chuck as he was a Hinsdale fireman at that time and Illinois Bell was across the alley from the fire station. My older brother was a friend of his. I am sorry for your loss.
