. 3 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
To the family we offer our deepest condolences. Please rely on Gods strength to get you thru these difficult times. As he will be your refuge and strength. (John 5:28)
My condolences to the Donovan family. May you all find comfort in Gods word.(1cor.15:21,22).

Msgr. Donovan was our pastor at ST. Thomas More in the 70's and we were lucky to have this sensible kind man as our leader...Good man.

Father D, you were a true inspiration to myself and my family. I will miss you so much at Thanksgiving dinner this year. I fell asleep to the sound of my snowglobes the other night--I still have them all. Thank you for everything.
John 14:1-4 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.”
So sorry for your lost.Romans chapter 15 verse 4 is a great comfort.
With deepest sympathy to the Donovan family during your time of grief...Psalm 46:1...God is for us a refuge and strength, A help that is readily to be found during difficult times...May God provide you with peace and comfort to endure the days ahead.
