Dear Friends and Family:

This week started off horribly with the news that Uncle John had departed this earthly plane, but Samee and I have sincere belief that where he has gone will provide light and love and warmth and happiness.

Unfortunately, we cannot make the trip back to attend his services tomorrow. While mourning Uncle John's loss is inevitable, mostly we would have hoped to celebrate his life with each of you, sharing memories and raising a cold one.

I, John, heard a voice from heaven say: "Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on." "Yes," said the Spirit, "let them find rest from their labors, for their works accompany them."
Revelation 14:13

Dear Johnny, Bobby, Kathy, and Timmy, and your kids and grandchildren, and Mary, Noreen, and my dear Pop,

I was shocked and saddened to hear from my dad that Uncle Johnny had passed away. Please accept my deepest sympathy and know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers and in my family's thoughts and prayers.

I will always have good and fond memories of Uncle Johnny – from the infinite number of Connelly family picnics, holidays, celebrations, and at least a couple...
