" When it seems that our sorrow is too great to be borne, let us think of the great family of the heavy-hearted into which our grief has given us entrance. And inevitably, we will feel about us their arms, their sympathy and their understanding.

Rick, Tom and Joey,
We are so sorry for your loss. Wanted to let you know that your mother was one of the most selfless people we have ever known. She truly had a heart of gold and we loved her. Take comfort in knowing that she loved you boys and her grandchildren more than anything. She is at peace now and in the arms of Jesus and her mother and father. Heaven is a better place now that she is there. If there is anything we can ever do for any of you - please let us know.

My Dear Dear Friend, Oh how I will miss you and your funny stories and that great laugh of yours! No matter how grim life around you was, you always found the courage and strength to laugh and smile. Thank you for sharing you August 18th Birthday with me each year, and each birthday I will come to see you and we shall share a beer. I am so sorry to see you go, but I at least know you are not suffering, and not in pain anymore. You did it YOUR way my dear friend Kath, and now you will be watching Jeeter from up above.
To the Boys, and the Family, accept my condolences for this great loss. May God hold you close my friend, and remember our conversation, find my Danny Boy, and keep him close to you.
I love you Kathleen, you will forever be missed.
