Mr. Kirley,
Sir, I didn't know you but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Navy 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.

Deep sympathy and prayers. I will offer Mass for the repose of Frank's soul this afternoon in the chapel at Seattle University. I know God will give him a glad reunion with the wife he cared for so faithfully over so many years.

Sincerely, Fr. Tom Murphy, S.J.
