Although Ellen and I grew up in the same neighborhood, going to the same schools and having the same friends, I didn't know her then, or, at least, I don't know if I did.  Our paths crossed around 2008, when I worked as an attorney for the Insurance Dept and she as an attorney for Aon, and we called Aon in for an investigation.  Somehow, we started talking about where we grew up and we realized that we had been in school before.  So, we became friends, going out to lunch, going to the reunion.  When I was retiring from the department-now the Dept of Financial Services-and she had left Aon, we commiserated about both having cancer and talked about going to do some sort of joint consulting but she was back in treatment and we never did.  It is so sad that she has left us.  She was lively, intelligent, dedicated.  May she rest in peace.

Sadly, Bernice passed away a few years after Steve.  His brother Phil is still with us.  If anyone wants to get in touch with the family, my friend Margie is still in contact with them.
