To Mrs. Fitzgerald and Leon and Lois and the Fitzgerald family, I am truly sorry to hear of the passing your your husband and father, and father in-law. It is so hard to have someone we love leave us, just remember that to be absent from the body is to be present before the Lord. I pray for peace and strength for you all.
