Dick, Diane and Bette; I am sorry to learn of the passing of Mona. I saw her a few times in recent years at U of I baseball games and later I would stop and see she and Joe when I was in Williamsville. We always had a good visit about times gone by. I know you will miss her greatly.

I did not know Mona – only her uncle, Thomas Nathan Little 1889-1968(her mother’s brother), who was my father’s John “Jack” A. Bleecker’s (1921-1989)step-father. I heard many good stories about Mona’s parents from my father, mother, and brother and sisters. Difficult as it is to lose a loved one, know that she is now with those she loves that have gone before her, rejoicing at the reunion.
