I had the pleasure of taking care of Alberta. We had a special bond. She was a woman of many words and advise. I will miss her dearly. I always looked forward to seeing her smiling face when I arrived at work and enjoyed our many talks. She will be missed in the community. She was a wonderful woman and had a great sense of humor. My prayers to the family.

I work at the Wilmette Library and Alberta would come in and ask for help for various reasons and she was always a joy for me to help and talk to. We hadn't seen her in a few years, but I never forgot her. I'm so sorry for your loss.
