"I just saw this, 2 1/2 years late. Marie was my first best friend. We were neighbors in Auburn when we were children. After she moved with her family to New Berlin, we wrote letters for a few years. About 40 years passed before we found each other again (via Facebook) and met in Peoria for lunch. My sincere condolences to her sister, Edith (who I also knew as a child), and to all of her family."
In loving memory of
Yvonne marie Zaborac
