Dear Ellen, It is so sad to lose one's mother. Lillian was a wonderful lady, and I am glad to have had the privilege to know her and sing with her and your dad at St. Francis. I know the Angels must surely be singing now that she is among them. Love and God's Peace, Dee and John Kortes

Anne an I wish to express our concolences. We were not able to be there today as I was a pallbearer for Thomas Denmark's funeral in Richmond Hill at the same time. The burial was in Forest Lawn almost within eyesight of where your mom's service had been. Unfortunately with the Funeral being in Richmond Hill, then a procession to the cemetery, Lillian,s service had concluded before we could get there. I would have liked to have visited with you and met your family. It has been a long time! Love you, and thinking or you and your loss. Steven
