Dear Sue, Ken, and Dean,

I have many loving memories of your Mom. First, she was my godmother. We shared December birthdays. When I was about eightyear old, she gave me a lovely turquoise ring which I still cherish. Turquoise is the birthstone for December.

Lydia (Auntie Lee) loved gardening and particularly raising beautiful African Violets. She had a special light over her violets to keep them blooming.

In later years, my mother and Lydia had a standing lunch date every Tuesday. They would go to downtown Chicago or one of the malls for a little window shopping and lunch. I don't think that they purchased much, but they enjoyed lunch, conversation, and just being together.

Now your parents and mine can reunite in heaven. God bless.

Love, Barb and George Dilling##imported-begin##Barbara Larson Dilling##imported-end##

Dear Ken and Dean,

I was very sad to hear about the death of your Mom, but 93 is a pretty good age. I can remember your Mom and my Mom, Elaine, getting together over coffee. I also have a special remembrance of your Mom taking me to Whelan Pool to go swimming and trying to teach me how to float.

I'll pass the obituary on to my Mom who is living in assisted living at The Garlands of Barrington. You've probably heard from Dick about Mom's move from Grace Street to Resurrection Retirement to The Garlands during the past two years. Mom is now 91 and her short-term memory is gone, but she's content in her new home. We pray that Mom will join your Mom before much longer.

Sincerely,
Rosemary##imported-begin##Rosemary Wermich Olson##imported-end##
