Anne and Pat,

I am sorry to hear of Tom's passing. He was a great man who deeply loved both of you and his Boston Braves!
I am disappointed that I will not be able to attend the services, but I will light a candle in his honor at St. Finbarr's Church in Bantry, Bay IRL

Mr. McCarthy,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the U.S. Army in Europe during WW II with the 610th TD Battalion. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy. The men who served in the Tank Destroyer battalions provided valuable service to our Infantrymen, providing protection against enemy tanks as well as providing close fire support.

Dear Anne and Family,
My deepest regrets for the passing of Thomas.
It is always a sad time when a very special individual passes. Thomas' contribution to the war effort has made my world a safer place and for that I thank him from the bottom of my heart. I never met Thomas but I met Anne today when Mike and I came to landscape the property. Mike had met Thomas a few times and said he was a tall nice man that liked to putter around the property.
When reviewing his obituary I learned that he was a man of God and a veteran.
Again, my condolences to All.
Charles

Dear Ann and Pat,
I am so sorry about the loss of your beloved husband and father. I remember our many meetings after the 11:30 Mass at St. Clare's and his joking so much with my own beloved mother, Katherine. Now they are seeing one another in heaven and looking down on us smiling. Love, Joanne
