So I decided to do my weekly graveyard hunts. This time I though i'd to check out the old Mayor…read moreDaley's stomping ground. Yes, I found it. To think, he was one of Chicago Mayor's from 1955 to 1976. He was Chicago's longest-serving Mayor until he was outdone by his son, Richard M. Daley, who left office in 2011 after serving over 22 years. I was totally amazed at how this cemetery made it easy to find the Mayor. Amongst others that are also buried here. But to be honest, he is not the one I came for. I am an avid graveyard buff as everyone in my circle knows. From taking beautiful photos of statues; to investigating and making videos of other paranormal. Many think its weird, but I love to be eclectic in life. So the reason I came here was to investigate Little Mary Alice Quinn who over the years was dubbed as Chicago's 'Miracle Child'. Although born in 1920 she lived for a very short time when she died in 1936. Many have reported seeing her spirit and she is also credited with healing's. So of course I had to investigate for myself. I know what are the chances that I could get a miracle, but whatever I had to see her grave for myself. I happend to get a few EVP's, but nothing substantial. Although it is a summer day (early evening), I found her grave site but nothing out of the ordinary except that people have left toys and little dolls for the child. I guess in hopes of getting ahead of the line in miracles. Others have stated that you can smell the scent of roses, but on this day I didn't get that perception. This was supposedly after all, her favorite flower. I think that this resting place overall is really nice and well manicured. Although a bit far, it is a beautiful sanctuary. I got to visit my friend who is buried here, and had the chance to see the final resting place of one of Chicago's Major Mayors. And of course, Mary Alice. Summer time is for sure a time where if you like nature, check out this cemetery. Walk the grounds but expect to get plenty of sun. It is just a place to meditate and understand that death is not the end, after all if this Cemetery can look this good, you will definitely have visitors when you are gone. Please though, don't get locked in, cemetery hours are posted and this place can make you for some reason, lose track of time.

We went to start the process and met a very pleasant, warm lady by the name of Karen Hannah. She was not just helpful and pleasant....she was overly helpful and pleasant plus compassionate. She took her time to explain the process. She made sure that there were no questions and if so she answered them. From the planning to the viewing to the funeral Blake Lamb made this difficult process seamless. It has been a tough time for me and the family but thank u Karen & crew for making it easier. Another lady I would like to acknowledge is Marilyn Freeman. She took care of everybody during the viewing...she made the coffee, checked on us. The customer service was off the scale. Blake Lamb hosted a remembrance event for families who lost loved ones in December...it was a very nice coordinated event.

In any event, I need a forum to express my appreciation for Mike Heeney's professionalism as a Funeral Director. Mike recently handled all arrangements for a member of my family. Each and every detail was handled with skill and compassion and in a very timely manner. Where we were unsure, Mike made terrific recommendations. Mike has good relationships with pastors, priests, rabbis, etc. of all different faiths in the Chicago area. He can tell you what works and what does not work at different churches, etc. He truly knows this business. Funeral services is a highly sensitive and personal service business. Do NOT entrust this area to one of the corporate entities. (A relative recently hired a different south side outfit that had been bought out by "Dignity"--the resulting arrangements were anything but dignified. They should have retained Mike.) It really does make a difference who you retain, so go to Mike Heeney.

Prior to leaving our hotel room my husband decided to take our dog for a brief walk outside our hotel room. The next thing I heard was a loud banging on my hotel room door. Upon opening it there stood three police officers and two other gentlemen who turned out to be a minister and county coroner. After lengthy questioning, they finally told me that my husband collapsed in the parking lot and died immediately. Needless to say, I was in total shock and since I know the staff my thoughts immediately turned to calling Dave at Palos Gaidas Funeral Home.
