Not sure what to say?

My sister and I grew up as neighbors of the Callaghans on Waterbury in Kentwood. Jim and Donna were truly special people and thinking of them brings back so many fond memories of those days. Sending my thoughts and prayers to the entire Callaghan family during this time of loss.

Callaghan Family,

Heartfully sorry to learn of Jim's passing. I enjoyed my years of service with him on the St. Mary Magdalen staff. He always spoke so highly and lovingly of all of his family. A great Irishman who will be missed.

I was so sorry to hear of Jim's death. Jim and Donna were such an important part of St. Mary Magdalen through the years. It was an honor to know him. My sympathies and prayers are with you.

May God bless you all. Jim was very special to both my sister, Teresa, and me. He was our 2nd dad when we worked at Westinghouse. I shall always remember your parents with great respect & love. May God comfort you all during this time of grief.

So sorry for your loss of your dad, friend and fellow parishioner. He is in heaven with Donna!! He will always be truly missed and was dearly loved.

Sorry to hear of Jim's passing. When I used to sing in the choir at St. Mary Magdalen with him, he and Donna were a joy to know. Always upbeat and a smile on his face. I love the memory when he did the "whistling" routine at the church talent show years ago. What a great sense of humor he had! Heaven is full of laughter with his presence!

It was a blessing to know Jim, and to share in the music ministry with him. My condolences to everyone who knew him. He was a truly great person!

Simply a wonderful man. He lived by faith and loved his family and I am certain there wasn't anything more important to him.

We are saddened about the loss of Jim. We will miss his lovely smile around St. Mary Magdalen. He had been a faithful employee and volunteer as well as an amazing tenor in the choir. We are pleased to call him our friend and we are thankful for his service to our parish. He will be greatly missed. He and Donna are dancing and singing together in heaven! Our deepest sympathies go out to his family. We pray that God may give you the peace that you seek.
Love and prayers,
