God bless you all. Our love and prayers are with you as you grieve the passing of your dad. Be comforted in knowing that your mum and a choir of heavenly angels greeted him with open arms. Big party!! We'll miss him here but have warm memories of the laughter he brought to many St. Greagory parish gatherings.

To my dear cousins, I am so sorry to hear that your Dad, my Uncle Jerome, has passed away. Please take comfort that your Mom and Dad are together again and that our loved ones never really leave us.

I am remembering the laughter that your father brought - answering the phone as a child and that silly, funny voice at the other end making me break out in laughter, the boogie-woogie music he played on the piano and singing. We would roar with laughter. My mom once told me that he would sing "off to work we go" on the tunnel bus in the morning.

I have a photo of me and your dad that Lisa took the summer before last and, in the photo, your dad is talking to me and I am laughing.

I wish I was there with you. Although I am far away, my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I love you all. Hugs and kisses.

Your cousin Catherine and son Graham.

To the Tobin Family: Every Christmas I still remember those Tobin family Open Houses. The picture boards of family trips, the laughter, and the love. Both of your parents were very special and my heart goes out to you at this time.
