    To the McCallister and Black Families, My heartfelt and deepest sympathies to each of you. As you all know, she was like a "second Mom" to me, always willing to listen to my hardships as well as my happiest moments. I so loved crossing the alley to find her at the kitchen table or on the back porch, enjoying a lovely summer evening. She so loved my visits back to Niles, where she got to meet each of my children, and she enjoyed seeing them, as much as my Mom did. I loved her so, and may you know my family sends their love and prayers your way. God bless you! Love always, Marcie Eddy Peterson
