Patty, so sorry to hear about your loss. Such is never easy; harder still after so many years and a great family extended into the next generation. My sincerest condolences.

It is with such sadness that I learned of the passing of Mr. Tierney. I always appreciated his gentlemanly demeanor, his lightheartedness , laughter, and twinkling eyes. Your home was a home away from home for me when growing up. I think of the pool, the white knight car, and all the patience you, as parents exhibited while Mar and I tested the boundaries of being teenagers. Having such a solid marriage, extended close-knit family, and children and grandchildren that would make any person burst with pride is a tribute to the type of man Mr. Tierney was. I feel he was truly blessed in having such a loving, spirited family who would do anything for one another. May God give him the warmest welcome into heaven and help guide you during this difficult time. Please accept my deepest sympathies for the passing of Mr. Tierney.
