Natalie & family, Thoughts and prayers for you and your family during this difficult time. Matt Haggis NBJH.

I like to think that both our moms are continuing almost a lifetime of friendship.

Natalie and family, I am sorry for your loss. I am sending my thoughts and prayers to your family and your mother in heaven. Peter Caris NBJH

I too was saddened by your loss. Your Mom was like a second Mom to me. Every time I saw my folks before their move, I saw Wilma....She was so very special My heart goes out to her family.....

I am so saddened by your loss. Wilma (and Nick) were stellar in our Skokie and Niles Twp Community for so many reasons. My parents were their friends. My brother played baseball with Coach O....and a few years ago I spent time with your mom when my best friend Jane Cech and her mom, Alice Cech came to visit from CA. And while sitting in the front room, Wilma shared stories of my parents...long deceased...that brought tears of JOY to my eyes and heart. My heart is heavy for your loss, but do take solace knowing that your mom (and your dad) were touchstones in our community who enriched the lives of so many, who now will share more stories. For, thru our stories we remain c-o-n-n-e-c-t-e-d and forever close in heart, mind and spirit. "LOVE~knows no boundaries"

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
