Dear Exler Family,
So sorry to hear of the passing of your Husband/Father. From my youth, I'll always remember his gusto and enthusiasm, and his signs as well.

Dear Mary and Family,
Please accept our family's deepest sympathy on the loss of Tom. He was a great guy and that back pew at the 11:00 Mass will not be the same without him. I'll especially miss his musical Christmas ties.
Know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.

Dear Mary,
We were saddened to hear the announcement of Tom's death at Mass on Sunday but it was fitting for me because I think of him in Church as a faithful usher and you and Tom singing on the altar. He will be remembered in so many people's prayers for giving so much time to our Church, School and community. Along with his family, St. Raphael's and Morningside lost a good man.
May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen.

Mary, it was always a pleasure to work with you at FNC. You were and still are one of the most respected nurses I have ever met. For all the light you brought into the lives of the many residents at FNC, I hope that same light will bring you comfort and peace in this time of sorrow.
Always keep him in your hearts!
