Hi, I just came across your article about the Oct. GRASP grief support group meeting. My name is Lynne Holley and I run the Grasp chapter in Joliet. Our meetings are held on the third Sat. of each month from 10:30 am until noon or longer if someone needs to talk longer. Our meetings are now held at ..ST. JOSEPH HOSPITAL in Joliet. They are held downstairs in Meeting Room 2 by the cafeteria. We welcome anyone who has lost a loved one to substance abuse.

What about Pizza Makers, Inc. they have the best pizza anywhere...Also try their mozzarella sticks, or their veggie basket, they deliver, cater and everything is made from the heart with fresh ingredients...Try it, you will like it, maybe next time you won't omit them. It seems Homewood-Flossmoor Patch doesn't seem to remember them often. What gives?
