Hello Anne, Susan, Jean, Paul and Patrick: This is Colette Buchanan. I just heard. I'm sorry not to have been able to attend the services. I would have loved to have been able to hug you all once again. My childhood memories are filled with your family, Susan and Jeannie and Paul (and I didn't get to know Patrick very well, he was just a baby) and your grandmother too ... and years and years of seasonal fun indoors and outdoors. I remember your lovely lawn glider and ice cream cakes at birthday time. I remember your Dad with great fondness. My mother is gone 27 years now and my father is gone 6. He always spoke of your Dad with great reverence because he could always count on him to make a house call. God bless you all. I will remember your Dad in my prayers.

This is a snapshot of how I looked the last time you saw me.

Sincerely,
Colette (Buchanan) Sullivan
