Dear Eileen, I learned of your dads death through Marykate at my moms wake. How deeply sorry I am for your loss. Death is never easy, but I hope time and distance will be good healers. Know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care and God Bless Ellen Tognarelli-Flahive

Delia and Eileen,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your father. He was the same age as my father was just 10 years ago when he passed away. Much too young! May the Lord bless you in your grief.
I hope all else is well with you. Neil Morris was kind enough to notify me of your loss.
You might be interested to know that we now have a one year old grand child named Delia.
Best wishes, Brad and Kathy Marchant

The Duggan Family:
Sandra and I want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers in this most difficult time as you grieve the loss of your father and husband. May the many pleasant memories the Duggan family experienced together over the years bring you comfort.
I had the honor of speaking with Mr. Duggan on the phone several times in the past and we became good "phone" friends even though we never met.

Fran,
I learned today that your best pal on earth, of whom you always spoke so lovingly every waking minute, has sailed on. If I could extend to you all of the comfort you've given me since Philip passed, I'd be giving you solace, understanding and the love of a friend. I take comfort knowing that the presence of your children and grandchildren can ease some of the hurt and that your Faith will guide you in the days ahead. Don't pull a Mother Theresa and question it now. I only wish I'd known last week so I could have honored Franna's memory and shared my tears and smiles with you. You are a most wonderful soul and I'm honored to know you and through you, the Franna who owned your heart.

My condolences to you and your beautiful family. The Duggan clan is one of those classic Irish American success stories and has been a big part of the local community for such a long time. We will miss your Dad and his great achievements. More importantly, his legacy will live on with the next generation of Duggan's.
