Hi Trish,
Just wanted you to know again how very sorry we are and how we are praying for all of you for the faith and strength to go on. Mom will be very missed by all those whose lives she touched.

May you all find comfort and strength in the light of Mom's love and the wonderful life she lived. You are all blessed with a wonderful family and support system and please know we are here if you need us.
Love and prayers,
         - Eleanora and Eddie Fink (Mom's cousin)

Dear Trish,
I am so sorry to hear about your mother’s passing. I know how difficult these past few months have been. I am sure your mother’s spirit was all the stronger having you there by her side. Likewise I am sure she has finally found peace after her ordeal.

I remember your mother very fondly from the times we spent at your house during high school. My strongest recollections are of her vitality and energy, and how easily she spread it to others. Even though I haven't seen in her in many years, I miss her too.

Right now my thoughts are with you and your family, you and your Dad in particular. Please extend my condolences and support to him. As for you, I know you have a very strong and wonderful support group out there, but please know that that support group extends out to Chicago. Although we don't see each other very often, my thoughts have been with you these past months, and are with you especially now. If there is anything at that I can do for you, be it talking on the phone or via email, to making a charitable contribution in Jo Ann Wendelken’s name, please let me know.

Love and warmest support,
         - Scott Kalbfeld (Trish's high school friend)

Trish & Bill:
Our thought & Prayers are with you, Bill & your Dad. We sincerely hope in this time of grieving you find comfort in knowing she has gone home to God and has entered a Kingdom of Glory that transcends all things we could ever imagine.
