"So much for a stamp and a walk to the mailbox." I have no doubt that John A. Donoghue would have made that walk. It is that expression of compassion for those grieving now that makes it all the more difficult in sharing in the loss of such a fine man, husband and father. For those of us fortunate to have known him, we are left with the sorrow in his passing and the rewards of knowing that in passing the torch, he has shown us the way. I choose to celebrate his life, as he would have wanted it.

Gladys, John and I were so saddened to hear of Jacks passing. Margie had told me he was not doing well lately. You and your family are in our prayers.
