I learned of the passing of my dear Aunt while going to see my Father in Law who is under hospice care. We are holding onto him dearly. Having lost both my parents now & my husband having lost his Mother, we are painfully aware of the loss you feel when both your parents are gone. It feels like a door has closed & it is hard to accept no matter their age or circumstance. Aunt Rita was such a sweet heart. I remember Uncle Prince fondly as well. Although we can*t always keep in touch as much as we like please know I think of your family often. Geraldine, seeing you around town was always a highlight when we were there. Alta, although I did not see you as often I love you too. Who can forget Aunt Rita*s fridge that she was so proud of!! I pray for peace for all of you as you adjust to her passing & that knowing she in in Heaven brings comfort. Hugs, love, and prayers Patti (Perkins) Gehrig, Alsip, Illinois

I remember Mrs. Smith taking me to Kindergarten at Hollywood School when I was a child. She was always happy. I thought so much of her and Prince. They are finally together again. What a great reunion day! I'm sorry I missed her visitation. I was just leaving my house when I realized that I was too late. Just wanted the family to know I'm thinking about them. Geraldine, Alta and Brad, my prayers are with you and the entire family.

Many fond memories of Mrs. Smith. I have always called her Mrs. Smith because she was the lunchroom lady at Hollywood School for many years. I can still picture her there in the lunchroom, serving food to all of us kids. She always had a smile on her face. I remember so well her husband, Mr. Prince. He drove the school bus when I was in school and, I am pretty sure he still drove when my boys were in school. My sympathy goes out to her daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. I am sure you have many good memories and that will help as you grieve
