The daughter, Blanca, and the mother at Lake in the Hills.

A woman who has been a longtime customer of our Lake in the Hills branch stopped by the office with her daughter, to share their gratitude and drop off flowers in anticipation of the branch’s shuttering.

“They wanted to show thanks for all the help we’ve given them,” teller supervisor Blanca Wiley said. “They were sad to see the branch close, since they live across the street. But they said that since Teresa Wojciechowski and I were moving to McHenry, they were keeping their account. The daughter will bring her mom to the bank once a month to see us.”

The woman has banked with Illinois State Bank since 2000. “This is just one photo of the many customers who stopped in during our final week to show their appreciation,” branch manager Dee Patel said.
