Not sure what to say?

Skip it's hard to believe it's been 10 years since your Dad joined the "Eternal Knights of Columbus"! They are probably practicing right now for the St. Patrick's Day Parade only a month away...your Dad with my Dad along with their great friend, Jim Kennedy.

It sure was a nice surprise to see Red's smiling face this morning when I opened my email.

Skip, Please accept my deepest sympathy and condolence on the loss of your Father.

My condolences and prayers to the O'Donnell family. Your dad was a wonderfully warm man with a great smile and a way with words. I'll always remember his great walk, shoulders back and very confident, and his big smile. And, of course, his stories. Always his stories.

Anne, you and your family are in our prayers. Your father had the best hugs and the most beautiful blue eyes. "May you always have walls for the winds,
a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire,laughter to cheer you, those you love near you,and all your heart might desire." Love you. Velma Barker-Hill & Family

Heartfelt and prayerful condolences from the Chicago Police Chaplains' Unit and the people of Nativity of Our Lord Parish (www.nativitybridgeport.org), where all Masses will be offered for Red this weekend. May his family and friends know the healing touch of Jesus Christ during this difficult time!

Skip my condolences..your Father was always one of my great supporters from Canaryville. Sorry I couldn't be with you during these times. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Pat Huels

Skip,
My condolences on the lost of your father. I know how hard it is to loose a Dad and will keep you in my prayers. I would have attended the services but Randy and I are in Colorado. Again, you have our sympathies and prayers.

Dear O'Donnell Family,
My deepest sympathy on the loss of your dad. I had hoped to make the wake, but am unable to. Your dad was my husband's best friend (Denis Danaher) as kids growing up on Wallace.
God Bless you all,
Pat Danaher - New Lenox
