Dear Erin and Tara,
I was very sad to hear the passing of your father and my friend... We hadn't spoken in some time, BUT he was always in my thoughts and prayers daily..I thought of him so often...He was my dear friend for many, many years and he had no idea how I cherished our friendship...
If I had known he was ill, I certainly would have been there to shock him and make him laugh..... He always had a special place in my heart and always will. Now he is with the person he missed...

Dear Erin and Tara
Thinking of you, wishing you hope in the midst of sorrow, comfort in the midst of pain. With heartfelt sympathy on the death of your Dad.

From: Pat, Fiona, Simon, Louise and Gillian

Dear Erin & Tara & Family:
The two James' are in heaven now. With much love to you all at this time. Love you, Elaine Worrell

Dear Erin & Ta-ta,

James was like our own personal Irish luck charm, making every Christmas Eve special with his dapper attire, twinkling eyes, mischievous grin, and marvelous brogue. I always loved how he would greet me with open arms and say "Oh, Diahhhhhnn"...

Mike, Harrison and I will miss him terribly. Never a year will go by that we won't toast James with an Irish Coffee on Christmas Eve and wish he were there with us. (and we know how he loved a party).

Cead...

Dear Erin and Tara,
Our heartfelt condolences on your Dad's passing. Distance can put no limits on the memories and sympathy felt for you all by those in Ireland and here.
Ar dheis De go raibh se.

Dear Tara, Erin and family

We are with you every step of the way at this difficult time. Would love to there, but unfortunately can't. This is a quotation I read which i think is rather nice.
" All the pain and grief is over,
every restless tossing past
He is now at peace for ever,
Safely home in heaven at last."
Ar Dheis go raibh se.
His loving brother Ned Phelan, Dungarvan.
