Bridget, Gary and family,

I am so deeply saddened to hear of the passing of your beloved dad. I only wish I had known sooner, and I would have been there for you.

He sounds so much like my own dad, with his love of sports, and the good earth. They even fished in the same places.

He is with Our Lord, and I am convinced that Our Heavenly Father finds a most peaceful setting for our loved ones, most like the earthly life they loved but free from pain and anguish.

My deepest condolences and may the Good Lord keep watch over you and your entire family throughout this difficult time.

Always
Louise
