    Connie and Judy, my sincere condolences to you and your families on the passing of your Mother.

    Connie, Judy and Family. I’m so sorry to hear of your Mother’s passing. It’s never easy to lose someone you love, but around the holidays makes it even worse. I admire your Mom for having the courage to say no treatment for her illness. She didn’t want to put her family through a battle, she probably wouldn’t have won and that shows how much she loved her family.
    Just know you have many friends that are praying for you and your family. During the holidays, it will be tough for all of you, but remember the good times and maybe that will ease your pain a little bit. I have found no matter where I am, my Mom is always with me because she’s never left my heart.
    Hugs to you both.

    Judy and Connie,

    My thoughts are with you and your family during this time. I’m sure you are thankful that you had her in your lives for so long, as that can be rare. I’m also glad that her illness was brief for her and you all. I know that she rests peacefully and that the Lord is embracing her.

    Judy, I’ll always fondly remember the SRF/CIFA Chicago trip that you took your Mom along on. She was feisty and blunt and I immediately liked her. I could tell she was a force to be reckoned with!

    May God Bless You All.
    Wendy Klinker

    Judy and Connie,

    I will always remember our moms going with us to the Chicago CIFA conference and how they became immediate friends. We had such a blast taking them to the Chicago Art Museum, shopping and eating at such great restaurants and taking them to see “Wicked.” Now both are friends in heaven.

    Hugs to All,

    Nancy
