My sincere sympathy to Peachie and all the wondeful Lennon families. I will always remember the best times of our lives, when we were raising our children and had many good times together. There was a lot of laughter and fun with Bill, Jack and the kids. And, they all have their special picture taken with Bill at Patrick's wedding. It meant a lot to all of them. God Bless you Peachie, you are all remembered in my thoughts and prayers.

Peachie,
We both have wonderful memories of our husbands that will be in our hearts forever. Since the 1950's when you met Bill and I met Bud our life was surrounded by their love. We will always have that until we join them again.
Sincerely,
Fran Rootes - GreenIsland

I have many fond memories of Uncle Bill. I remember our families used to get together up on Pruyn hill. I remember tractor rides, picnics, catching fireflys, and wondering why the heck does he have pigs, a bull, and a cow?? Fun stuff and obviously lasting memories since i can remember them over 30 years later. Of all my fathers brothers, you resemble and remind me most of him.
You will be missed Uncle Bill
