Dear Father Hal,



We were surprised and so sorry about the passing of your father. We felt that we sort of knew him from some of your Homily references and we believe even seeing him in church. But even more so because of the closeness of our being raised in the same area. . . .Proviso H.S. and Oak Park. . . rivals to the end.

Please accept our sincerest condolences on his passing and our warm prayers for his ascension to the final resting place with our Lord Jesus Christ.



Please know that our prayers are with you Father during your period of grief.



May God Bless you and your family.



Dorothy and Chuck Caruso
