Dear Aunt Lillian and Entire Donahue Family,
We are so very sorry for the loss of a truly wonderful Uncle. We are so very happy that we got the chance to see Uncle Jack last week for Mom and Dad's service. He was truly one of my favorite uncles as he reminded me so much of my dad. I always remember him calling me "Princess " like my dad did & when he would call Commonwealth Ave House, he would never say Hello he always said "eyahhh Where's you "fatha"? He will be fondly remembered and deeply missed by all...I am glad that he is now up in heaven and getting the chance to be with his mom "Grandma Card", his dad John, Pauline, Link & everyone who has gone before him. God Bless him and keep him safe.
Love & prayers to all...You are in our thoughts.....Laura, Greg, Emily & Jennifer Bade
