Dear Ann and the Beggan Family,

I'm so sorry to have learned of your father's passing. Please know that my heart goes out to all of you during this very difficult time.

I'm thinking of all of you.

The loss of John is felt by all who knew him...a gentleman of integrity, humor, wit, and loyalty to family and friends. These are all traits undoubtedly honed by his many years along the third base line watching the Cubs and during those "down" years for Notre Dame. Heartfelt sympathy to Mary Lou, Tom, Ann, and the family.

Ann,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sad time. My you find comfort and peace in your memories.

Ann and Family,

This was read at my mom's burial service in 1996. I still find it comforting so many years later. Hope you will too.

When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the...

Dear Mary Lou: I was very saddened to hear the news of John's passing. I will always remember John as one of the friendliest, kindest and most skilled lawyers at Gardner Carton. May his memory be a blessing for you and your family.
