Aunt Barbara and the entire Leary Family, I am so sorry for your loss. May God bless all of you. Some of the fondest memories of my childhood were what warm and loving hosts you always were, welcoming me in your home for the numerous family gatherings in East Williston. I will always hold those memories close to my heart. You and Uncle Joe have set a strong example of family unity and values that our families will use as a model for generations to come.
