Dear Ms. Hourihan,
On behalf of all his friends at the Italian Home and for myself, personally, I would like to express my deepest sympathy at the shocking loss of John.
We also regret that we became aware of John's passing only today, but we hope, not too late, to provide you even the smallest comfort during this most difficult time for you and your family.
As you know, John was a truly dedicated friend of the Italian Home. His participation in last year's Ride for Kids was honorable and I was proud to have ridden the 50 with him and shared the joy of the day with him at the barbeque on the finish line.
Please accept our warmest sympathies for a man whose too-short life was dedicated to helping those in need, including the children at the Italian Home.
May the Lord Jesus Christ provide you comfort at this time, knowing John is with Him, honored in His garden.
God bless you at this time and always.
Sincerely,
All of John's friends at the Italian Home.

Kerri, Mr.and Mrs. Hourihan and family. I was shocked when my Dad called me and told me what happen. I still can't believe it. I am truly sorry. I only wished we had stayed in touch over the years. I will always remember the wonderful person Johnny was. I will always remember that wonderful smile and the great memories we had growing up together from Sacred Heart to CM. My prayers and thoughts will be with you forever

I was very shocked to learn of the passing of Mr. Hourihan. We have not met or been introduced, but for a year I filled in for Marilyn O'Connell in driving Jill to Bishop Feehan along with Andrew. Having lost my own mother at a young age, the loss is great, but with the love and faith in our heavenly Father all will be okay. My deepest sympathy for your loss

Kerri, I knew you from Junior High and knew John around the same time from my friendship with his sister Dianne. I am so sad that you and John's family have experienced this loss and the past losses in your lives. It seems so unfair. My thoughts are with you and the Hourihan family. Sincerely, Patty Bowes Phillips
