Dear Conyngham Family,

George Bernard Shaw, in a short autobiographical sketch, said about his musically talented mother that
"To her living was not an art, it was just something that happened."

In contrast, Jack and Lou Conyngham have lived their lives in such a beautifully intelligent manner that it is an inspiration to all of us. And how Jack will be missed by the huge number of us whose lives he has touched with his extraordinary warmth, grace, and humor.

In Jack's...

Dear Lou: I have wonderful memories of many evenings with you and Jack and an extraordinary circle of friends; and I will always be grateful for his service to King's and to the Wyoming Valley Community. Prayers and blessings.

Dear Lou, What delights you and Jack have always been to us on our visits. Jack was such and example of kindness and friendliness, that it was a treat to be in his presence.
My deepest sympathy to you and your family.
Fondly, Judi Bowes
