My sincere condolences

Dear Kathy, and family, Steve and I send love ang heartfelt sympathy to you; May you rest in peace Cork.

Ron and I were so sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved husband, Cork. We extend our sincere sympathy to you and your beautiful family. May all your wonderful memories warm you like the sun.

So sorry to hear this sad news. Don't know if you remember us from a Sailfish Point, but we remember you and Cork. So much fun, such gracious hosts so lucky to have known you both. All our sympathy and prayers, Sue and John Manner

Toni and I just learned of your loss and want to express our deepest sympathy and condolences.

Kathy, I was so sad to hear about Corky. He was a delight of a
person and oh so generous. I remember one time I ask if
he could arrange for a TV for a silent auction and when I
went to pick it up there were ten of them. He sure made
me a hero when I showed up with them.

My heart hurts for you and your family. I will hold you in my
prayers.

Heartfelt and prayerful condolences from the Chicago Police Chaplains. Cork will be remembered at the Police Mass on Sunday, 23 OCT, 11:00 a.m. at Mercy Home - 1140 W. Jackson Blvd. In the meantime, may family and friends know the healing touch of our all-loving, all-merciful God! [www.ChicagoPCM.org or 312/738-7588]
