Dear Family & Friends,
I was completely overwhelmed by the sincere, thoughtful, beautiful, multitude of notes of condolence received, and thank each and every one of you for making this past week so gratifying and truly meaningful for me.
Many of you, I believe, knew that Albert had no children - by choice.
After witnessing the terror he witnessed as a youngster, I believe he was afraid to bring children into this world. However, he did like children. Many years ago, Al received a scholarship to Bradly University from the Rotary Club. Years later, Albert and his dear wife Diane established in partnership with Rotary, a scholarship award, so that each year, a deserving high school senior student from Peoria Central High School could attend college.
Need you to know that in Albert's will, and in collaboration with Diane, this partnership will continue for many years to come.
Love, Marion
