It could be Immaculate Conception High School, or the football program or the parents’ clubs, or municipal events around town. You become part of a greater family than your immediate family when you live in Elmhurst. You grow and, in many cases, “grow up” with the people and the families around you. As Marty Manion would say, the people around town providing services, “They aren’t businesses, they’re family operations”. So, when his family needed help and lost their father fairly recently, it was automatic to them to call Marya and Tucker Gibbons. They were friends, fellow parishioners, team parents, buddies, their go-to people to help when loss occurred. All those reasons and more. Marty’s sister helps during wake duties at Gibbons to extend her natural caring way and compassion to families who are traveling a journey she has been on already. It’s a huge help to other families.
When Marty uses phrases like, “highly respected”, ” Very Social”, “Good, decent social people”, it’s not lost on us what that means. It’s what we strive every day for in fact. When he goes on to say his father would have been very happy with how things were handled, it means even more. He was a prominent person in town with many friends, a huge service, and made it clear to his children during his lifetime what the arrangements he preferred would entail. He was the guest we were honoring, and his approval, as conveyed by Marty means a lot to us.
