So many years have gone by since I was a teenager working at my parents' pizza place in North Grafton (Grafton Pizza-my Dad was called "Uncle Louie" by all the kids in town), but I remember the Shannon family as if it were yesterday. Your family inspired others. Mr. Shannon always reminded me of the Dad on "Father Knows Best". Please accept my condolences from across the miles. Treasure the legacy he left, not only to his family, but to his community.

Dear Betty,
Today my brother Frank (Murphy) phoned to tell us about Jim. They were good friends. You will miss him very much. I imagine he is now seeing Anna and Frank, and my parents Frank and Olive. You and your children will be in our prayers.
Love,
Dave and Helen Murphy

Dear Betty, James, Kevin and Kathleen, know that Jim is in our prayers and in our hearts. Although we cannot be physically there to celebrate his life with you we will attend Mass on the same day (in Fl) to remember Jim. As you know dad was well prepared to meet his God by Fr. Ray and myself. I visited with dad on Monday the 29th. Each time I saw him he was peacefull and welcoming. Jim, dad will be missed by family and by the many friends that he had made thru the years.

He was a wonderful man. We will never forget how he worked on our house 12 years ago & helped us so much. He was full of life. He was always smiling & a joy to talk to.

Dear Betty, I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. You were such a lovely couple. I am happy that I got to see you at UMMC when your son was recovering and again at our HSC reunions. May God be kind to you during this time. With sympathy and love, Ursula Shea
