Dear Kathy, Mrs. Lynch, and family,
My deeptest sympathy to you at this sad time. Kathy, I remember your dad sitting in his chair with a twinkle in his eyes listening to us all gab away as we caught up on life and family during those Thanksgiving weekend dinners at you parents' home.

Dear Kathy and entire Lynch family, our deepest sympathy on your father's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you always. Our WWII vets are special people from a special generation.

An Irish prayer of thought--
May the raindrops fall lightly on your brow
May the soft winds freshen your spirit
May the sunshine brighten your heart
May the burdens of the day rest lightly upon you
And may God enfold you in the mantle of His love.

Thinking of you and your family.

Best Wishes,

Helene, Norm and Chris Bouchard
