Not sure what to say?

So sorry for your loss, saw this When I was checking for my brother Thomas Marshall Garrity ....

Just learned the sad news of Tom's passing. As one of the younger cousins, I always had Tom pointed out to me as someone to emulate. As an adult, I realized what a consummate gentleman and Christian he was. Everyone in the family is in my thoughts and prayers, especially Mary, a consummate gentlewoman and Christian. May you and he be at peace!

Dear Mary and family, my deepest sympathy
Mary (Hudson) Fabian.

To the entire Garrity family,

I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of your husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He held a special place in my heart along with being quite influencial in my youth.
I cherish the fond family memories.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you at this time.

With deepest sympathy,

Jim,
So sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. He was always a consummate gentleman and a friendly face. Really enjoyed golfing with him back in the day at Old York Road CC. I will not be able to attend the services (in NC), but make sure to extend my sincere condolences to your Mom and all your siblings.
God rest his soul.
Your Friend,
Mike Lawn

Mr. Garrity was always kind to me and helpful during my time as a Commissioner in Springfield Township, in the early 90's. Like his son, Jim, Mr. Garrity always was prepared, under-control, and respectful. He set the tone for the entire Board of Commissioners during his many years there.

I pray that God will wrap His arms around your family and give you comfort and peace. Tom served our bank as its attorney for over 40 years with integrity and common sense wisdom. Our world is a better place because of his life of service. He will be missed.

Bernadette, you may not remember me but we both went to Presentation school in Cheltenham. I was sorry to read of Thomas passing and I wanted to express my sympathy. Dorothy Brady Sweeney Wisniewski

Sincere condolences on your loss. During this difficult time may you find comfort in special memories, the loved ones who surro7nd you and God's word.
Jeremiah 29:11
