Not sure what to say?

Dear Tierney Family,

I came across this obituary yesterday. You don't know me, but my dad was at Bishop Spencer Place, for a month for rehab, last October. The first night we were there we met "Jim" at the dinner table. He told me I was beautiful...he melted my heart...I visited with him every single day I was there. He told me of his wife and family, where he went to school, church, etc. He was an absolute dear. I imagined him to be a great guy and his obituary proved what I...

Tierney family, Kitty in particular, I was searching for a way to contact you when I found Jim 's obituary. I am so sorry to hear. Jim was a beautiful soul and I send condolences to all. I would love to see you Kitty. My contact info home 816-296-7338 and cell 630-660-7177

Sorry for the recent loss of Jim. I was fortunate to sit next to Catherine on the flight to Phoenix today, and enjoyed the conversation of learning about their life of 56 years together. Prayers and healing wishes to Catherine and the family.

Kitty. Please accept my sincere sympathy on your loss of Jim. I have asked my brother, Father Jerome, a monk at Subiaco Abbey in Arkansas, to celebrate Mass for him, and to include him in the prayers and good works of the Benedictine monks there. God bless you and your family.

He is truly the "man for all seasons." Superior human being behind whom is his great woman, Kitty. Privilege to call him my friend.

Peaceful Passage Arrangement

Our condolences to the Tierney Family on their loss.

Kitty and Family,
Sue and I want to express to you our sincerest prayers and condolences on the passing of Jim, even though I know he's been having a number of problems.
Unfortunately, his Funeral is at the same time as Pat Wilkerson's Funeral and I am a Pallbearer at Pat's and, therefore, can't be at both of them.
Know that I remember Jim since I went to school with is twin brothers. He was a tremendous lawyer and leader that we'll all miss.
Sorry we can't be with you,...

Jim was my mentor and friend. He will always be remembered as a person who would lead the way with a smile and smart ideas. His ability to make you laugh in stressful times was wonderful. He will be missed.
