Not sure what to say?

He will be greatly missed by all that knew and loved him.

Dear Friend
I can not be there today to say good by. But You know how I feel. Vi and I love you and will miss you so very much. Everyday you will be in our prayers and until we meet again.

He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart.(Isaiah 40:11) You will forever be our Bishop and Shepherd. May you now rest in peace. +

I had the privilege of knowing Bishop Sullivan and was truly saddened to hear of his passing. I know he is with Jesus because he was a true servant of our Lord and he will not be forgotten. I will especially remember him for his care and love of prisoners, especially those on Death Row. My sympathies to his family.

May his spirit live on in our church. Thank you for your friendship and care
Live now in peace!

We met shortly before Vatican II. He was a visionary then as through his life.
I was proud to share his first name and the Faith he lived so full.
May he truly know the Peace he envisioned for so long!

"Well done thy good and faithful servant"

May the God of all comfort be with the Sullivan family in the days ahead.

It's a mighty body of work for the Lord that Bishop Sullivan leaves behind him. May he continue to live through those works, and may God be good to him.
