I was able to stop by Van’s Frozen Custard yesterday around noon. I met the owner of the store and I’m pleased to report that they were pretty busy while I was there. I had the privilege to meet Ryanne Mace’s Mom and Dad. Ryanne was a resident of Carpentersville who was a victim of a senseless killing by a young gunman at Northern Illinois University on February 14th of this year. Ryanne was a member of our “peer jury” in which she took great pride, in being able to help our community. She was a talented young woman who will be missed.
