Memories and Condolences
for Thomas Godfrey
October 10, 2014
Dear Judy and family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy and prayerful support as you mourn the loss of Tom. He was most kind, friendly and supportive of me from the time I began my service as president of St. Ignatius. His good heart, deep faith, and passion for doing right were evident from the first time I met him. May our faith in the communion of saints be a source of strength and hope for you as you hand Tom back to the Lord.
I will give thanks for his life and pray for his eternal peace at the eucharist this evening. I regret that my new responsibilities as provincial of the Jesuits kept me from expressing my condolences in person.
God bless,
Brian Paulson, S.J.

Dear Judy,
I regret that I cannot be with you tomorrow to celebrate Tom. I am teaching a class at that time. I pray, however, that God will give you the comfort of good memories.

I am so sad to hear about Tom. He was always so warm, and cheerful, and kindhearted when I was growing up and our families had holidays together. And, I think his sister, is warmhearted and wonderful, just like him. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
