Dear Migliorese Family,
The Back of the Yards and 48th & Marshfield
brought us together with the Migliorese Family
in the 1950s & 1960s--and cemented a lifelong friendship.
And, I particularly have Joan to thank for my first summer job at her place of employment--
the Illinois Institute of Technology. For two summers she drove me to work with her & showed only kindness & generosity to a "teen"
14 years her junior...
Tho time, distance & life circumstances intervened, it can't diminish the impact Joan had on my life.
I pray that God will grant her brother--Ken,
his wife --Barb & their beautiful family much comfort in their memories of wonder times shared with Joan...
With deepest sympathy,
Barb -- & Condolences from Bill & Stas'
