To the Vestal family,
On behalf of my sister, Judy Boyd, we want to send our condolences. Our dad, Stephen Sass, often mentioned how appreciative he was of your dad's support when he first joined the U of I Law College faculty. I recall that our families got together, on occasion, for food and entertainment.
It must have been so much of a joy for your dad, along with your mom, that their four children all became lawyers.
You may know that we lost our dad in December of 1999, and our mom last July so we can relate.
We trust that you were able to enjoy your mom's presence for an extended period of time - 97 years young - truly amazing.
All the continued best to the four of you, your significant others, and your offspring.
