Dear Jackie, Anne Louise, Susan, and Cindy:
I was so sorry to hear about your Dad. I have such fond memories of him and of our trips to the Cape. He was such a kind and caring man and was a saviour to my own Dad. I'm sure your memories will help you through this difficult time. Your Dad will always have a special place in my heart.
Love,
Lisa Macdermott Crowley

Dear Susan and Family,
I was saddened to hear of your dad's passing. I have fond memories of him during our high school years and our many sleepovers at your house. He always put up with us and our antics with a smile. I remember him as a dedicated and dignified man.
With sympathy,

Dear Clancy Family,
My deepest sympathy to your family.
Dr. Clancy cared for my grandfather for many years. It was not unusual for Dr. Clancy to call my grandfather at home check on him. My grandfather too moved to the cape and would see Dr. once and a while around the cape. My entire family will be eternally grateful for the compassion and kindness he showed my grandfather and my family. God bless you all. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
