Mr. Sheehan,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the USN during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Mrs. Sheehan, Gerri and Kathleen -

Please know I am praying for you all. I'm sorry I was unable to make any services for Mr. Sheehan. I have fond memories of all of you when we were young. Gerri, I remember you being there for me when my Dad passed away - 32 years ago (are we that old)?! Although I can't be there for you now, please know that I am with you in spirit.

Love & peace, Eileen (Collins) Paris
