Fate had us cross paths with Mardy and Wally when we bought their beautiful brick bungalow in Oak Park to start raising our family. We always referred to it as OUR home (theirs and ours). We were new to Illinois (in my case new to the country) and they immediately took us under their wing. Not only did they let me in on where to buy the best bread and old world goodies which reminded me of home, but also tended to our toddler when our our twins were born prematurely and I had to make frequent trips to the hospital to feed them.
We were heartbroken when Wally was diagnosed with cancer and succumbed to the disease a few years later.
All this time we managed to keep in touch with Mardy and always looked forward to exchanging our news at Christmas time.
Both she and Wally were very special people and will live on in our hearts forever.

From the Rev. Paris Coffey: “I was blessed to serve as rector of St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church in Oak Park, IL where Mardy and Wally were frequent visitors. Wally was fond of saying they were bi-ritual and indeed their faces were familiar in diverse places of worship all over Chicagoland. Mardy and I kept in touch after she left Oak Park - usually around Christmas - but I was concerned when I didn’t hear back from her this past Christmas. She was one-of-a-kind - smart, loving, funny, faithful - and I will miss her deeply, as will many others.
