Tom and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one is never easy... May the Good Lord comfort you during this time of grief.

Pat & Family
Hopefully I may see you at the wake for your Dad, but if not I wish to convey my sympathy at this time to you and your family. Losing a Dad, and grandfather, is like losing a part of yourself in many ways. He will be remembered in my prayers and hopefully Lorraine & Richie have taken him under their wing to (show him the ropes) as they say.
Love Marion Lawlor
