To say this brought a tear to my eye would be an understatement. No clue she had any issues and remarkably missed her at the reunion. While we traveled in very different circles at ETHS, after my son's suicide in March 2020 we connected thru the website and became friends communicating from time to time. What a kind lady she was as described in the obituary. I am so sad another friend and classmate gone too too early. RIP sweet Holly and thank you for your friendship these past 5 years. 

Did some digging re Ed's passing and this Facebook post is closest to an obit I could find  but first a short comment  I was familiar but not at all close with Ed from Boy Scouts thru ETHS  From an awkward teased childhood he grew into a successful adult championing LGBTQ rights and socially active in his Harley Riding group  and recently since May until his death an active participant and financial contributor in our weekly 64 reunion planning zoom meetings  As Inrecall he also provided the lanyards issued for name tags at the reunion  RIP Ed  you were so missed at the reunion  ??

Missed seeing this or somehow missed commenting. We went to Dawes together from 3rd to 6th grade and later ETHS. Paula was a sweet person and sad to know she's gone. So sad when I go thru the IN MEMORY and see so many that I wont be able to see at reunions! :-(

Rommie:  your thoughts so well stated and echo my sentiments toward our class of 64. I've only come to know Jack and Jerri more thru this site and have now had connection with them and their journey. My most sincere condolences to their family and love and best wishes to Jerri for health and strength. 

Jay, Happy Birthday!!
I hope you enjoy this St, Patty 's day and all that goes with it! Enjoy the Florida weather and I will talk to you soon ! (Friday on Zoom call!)

Wabanong Condolences to the Reeder Family. Was just thinking about another mini Florida Reunion at my house and just had Bob on the list. While I wasn't close to Bob we do go back to BoyScouts and have Photos of us at Camp Wabaningo in Duck Lake Michigan  A special guy and a special athlete. I find myself tearing up at all these notices whether I was close or not. We were a great class and Bob will be missed by many!!  RIP 

I only knew of Carl but never had much if any interaction with him. I've read the wonderful lengthy commentary by Preston and amazing, unique obituary by Emilio Estevez. Both painted a great story of a guy Inwish Inhad interacted  with. If you just quickly viewed the In Memoriam i highly recommend taking a few minutes to read the obituary and Preston's comments. Greatvtributes to a guy who was loved. So sad losing another Awsome Wildkit!! RIP Carl and congrats on a life well lived!!

Every notice is difficult losing our class mates. Injust sat in stunned silence, devestated by Mike Barnes and Janet Leahys passing. They just get harder and harder. Have known Mike since ETHS swimming freshman year and we have been in touch over the years and have had FB connection and always looked forward to reunions.  Just rambling in shock at the realization of another friend I hadn't spoken to perhaps for a year and now another never to be spoken to again. A good guy gone. RIP buddy!!RIP!????

Janets passing is just devestating!  I have gotton teary eyed at dozens of these sad notices. Janet was one of the most beautiful people inside and out. Upon being notified of her passing 2 days ago I just came to a stop unable to work the rest of the day!. Janet was a girl/lady I've adored since I met her at Nichols.

 I was so looking forward to seeing her next Feb or March when I was hopinfg to have another mini reunion at my home in Florida as she would usually attend. Next years mini reunion the 60th year of our graduation will have a huge void without Janet's presence!. 2 days later I still well up with tears as I write this.

 RIP beautiful lady. So many will miss you and I cant imagine the loss felt by Fran and her kids and grand kids. :-(

I am devestated and send my condolences. I sat by your mom in home room at Evanston high school and have stayed in touch the past 30
Years after reconnecting. She amazed me with all the driving she did between Texas and Alabama. I am teary eyed. RIP my friend. I will
Always remember your roller skating days at the Glenview Playdium??
