Gerri and John,
Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you. Gerri, I remember coming to your folks' home, when we went to Salve Regina College together. There was a HUGE snowstorm, and I ended up staying overnight. Both your folks were so kind and gracious...though they were also entertaining and had you and your sisters doing Irish step-dance in the living room!

Geraldine, Kevin, Deirdre, Christine, Doreen, Brian, and Dolly..
My Mom sends her heartfelt condolences and was very saddened to hear of your Dad's passing. It was too close to losing her husband and our Dad but she is praying for your parents daily now. We are happy to have seen your Dad for the last time at our Dad's wake and funeral.
Please accept my sympathies also. I will warmly remember your parents, who are now definitely in Heaven and at peace and rest with each...

Donald, I met you when I first came to Fairfield county many years ago. I loved talking to you about the milatary and medicine. I remember at one meeting one MD wanted to know why you were older when you graduated medical School, your reply was that you were dirverted by the War. This was sufficient to shut-up the other physican for the rest of the night. May God bless you and welcome you.
