A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO: Annette and Enrique, Cris and JR for all their help during my last trip to Chicago. I went to pick up Jacob (my grandson) arriving at Midway Airport. My friend and I stopped at Pete's Store and when we were done shopping my SUV would not start, I got scared and my nerves set in. I was desperate; I called Mary, Kathy, Annette, and JR. They all responded and I am so grateful to Victor who came in and got my car running. Cris and JR went to the airport and picked up Jake. In a matter of hours we were all together and on our way home. Thank you so much to the FAMILY.
