To John's family, please accept my condolences for the loss of your dear loved one, he will be greatly missed. John was blessed to live a long time, he had that "extra strength" that Psalms 90:10 talks about. May you keep those fond memories of him in your heart as you seek comfort from God at this time of sorrow.

Dear Kinsmen,
I never knew of my Noonan forebearers until many years after I had moved away from Massillon, Ohio where I had grown up; but my Great-great Grandmother was Johannah Noonan, originally from County Cork, Ireland. Please accept my condolences in your loss.
