See Condolences

Dear Sheila, Donna, and Family, my mother, Hans, and I were so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. We send you our deepest condolences and hugs. My mom has so many special memories of your mom; she remembers fondly standing up in your parents' beautiful wedding and the many times she called your mom for teaching advice. For me, your mom was an example of one of the strong Tomaro women. She was always so kind to me and I keenly felt her support and encouragement when I was young. We are keeping your family in our prayers and sending love!

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our longtime member. Their dedication, kindness, and steady presence enriched our club in countless ways. They gave so much of themselves to this community, and their legacy will continue to be felt in the friendships they built and the work they helped move forward. We extend our heartfelt condolences to their family and loved ones. May they find comfort in knowing how much they were admired and how warmly they will be remembered. The members of the Elm Grove Womans Club

Hello, Sheila, Donna, and all your family members. As president of the Elm Grove Woman's Club this year, I just received word of your mother's passing. I am so sorry to hear this news. I understand Jacqueline was a legacy member of our club. Sending warm thoughts and prayers to all of you. Jean Tarjan-Schindler

Our deepest sympathy. Jackie was “one of a kind”. We so enjoyed her humor and unique and positive way of looking at things. We miss her. Trudi and Allan

Deepest sympathy to Donna and Shelia and for their families. Love, Susan DeLuca Fletcher and family

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

This was her last birthday I spent with her. She was always so welcoming from the moment I met her. I will miss our conversations, she would always tell me to chase dreams no matter hard it’s gets. She was more than a resident, she was like the grandmother I never had. She will be missed unconditionally. May she rest peacefully………
