Virginia Riedel

I had Mrs. Riedel as my English teacher back in 5th or 6th grade at Nixon Elementary school in Westchester Illinois. This had to be in 1960 or 1961. Mrs. Riedel was an excellent teacher with high personal and professional standards. And, she expected the same from us. Unfortunately I was not a strong student so I was very glad that Mrs. Riedel was also full of mercy and grace. Then, after receiving my bachelor's degree I was hired by Addison Trail HS to teach art. Mrs. Riedel was now teaching at our sister school, Willowbrook HS. I was able to keep in touch and say 'hello' to Mrs. Riedel at district faculty meetings. Willowbrook HS students were blessed to have Mrs. Riedel as their English teacher, as was I. All the best to the Riedel family. Mrs. Riedel was a special person and teacher. She made the world a better place every day.

I got to know Virginia when I was a member at Grace-LaGrange. She and I worked on the Prayer List ministry when Pastor Gerow was there. Virginia and my husband shared a birth date. My condolences on your loss of this beautiful soul. May she rest peacefully with all the angels in hHeaven.

To the Gang family, and especially Polly and Brenna, I would like to send my deepest condolences on the loss of your dear mother and grandmother. I know how much you adored her and I can only imagine how deeply she will be missed. I will keep you close in my heart while you move through these next days. With much love and affection.
