To the family of John J. Sheehan. I worked with Johns brother T. Eddie for many years. Eddie told me about his brothers illness and talked about it with great emotion.



I am aware of the feelings he has for family and for friends. and it is apparent that he had a lot of love in him for his brother John.



Please accept our sincere condolense on the loss your husband, father, brother, and friend.
