Mr. Fitz was indeed a loving and caring person. He and Mrs. Fitz not only opened their house and their family to my sister and I but they also opened their hearts and made us feel loved. I have fond memories of meals in the basement, filled with smiles and laughter, and the enormous love I felt whenever I was in their presence and that of the entire Fitzpatrick family. Mr. Fitz touched my life and left a lasting memory of love and compassion. My heart goes out to your (my) family at this difficult time, while I am sure it is difficult to physically let go it is wonderful to know that Mr. and Mrs. Fitz are together again for eternity. All our love, Frank, Mary Lou, Anthony and Abigail.
