Xenia and I became friends in our first year of Art School in Chicago. She was always a part of my life, as dear friends are as we traveled through life. Her spirit and resounding care for others will truly be missed. I am so grateful I was able to know such a beautiful person.

Dear Ben and Veth, grandchildren and other relatives,
Xenia was an amazing friend who spoke the truth in love, prayed fervently and loved deeply. She loved her family so much and often spoke of how proud she was of Veth and her grandchildren. I will be praying for you all during this time of grief and rejoicing. Xenia will be spending her first Easter with Jesus and you know she will be in the front row singing hosanna at the top of her lungs! With much love, Terri DeLano
