all [of]

I would like to thank all [of] you for taking time to come here.

I would appreciate if you could send me all [of] the information.

All [of] the kids are under 9 years old.

Please let me know in what context 'of' is necessary. I have long suffered from this problem and hope it will go away once and for all.

Thanks in advance.
