Laura,
I am so sorry for your loss, you are in my thoughts
It was a pleasure getting to know you both while Paul was getting his chemo at chestnut hill south infusion. He was always so positive and wanted to know how we all were doing! He loved you so much you could see it in the way he talked about you. I loved when I got to be his Nurse! God bless you and your son

Chief Keeley was my captain at Ladder-6, and I learned a lot about firefighting from him. He was a great captain, leader, friend and a motivator to study.
Rest in eternal peace Chief.
