Not sure what to say?

Eileen, Pat, and family,
Ann just told me she heard your dear Dad died. Am sure our Dads are together, probably sharing a beer, and telling many stories. Your Dad was always very special to me. I will miss his cards, etc. May God comfort you at this difficult time of loss. Know you are in my prayers and heart.

Dear Joie, Pat, Kathy, Eileen and all of my other cousins,
I just heard of John's death and regret I didn't know sooner. In fact, I just sent his Christmas card this morning. I have many, many happy memories of Uncle John and his good looks and wonderful humor. You are all in my prayers,

Pat and Family
You have my heartfelt sympathy on the passing of your dad. Reading this obit moved me. I was remembering our dads together ushering at the old church, taking care of the financial business of the church festivals and meeting up in the street on some summer afternoon. Those were the days.

I've known John for about 28 years. John and I used to see each other at Pete's Diner. We would often go to St. Margaret's church for noon mass during the week. He was a very caring man. The last time I talked to him was about a month ago. Now he is with his friends from Pete's Diner, Connie and Danny. May he rest in peace.

The Management and Staff of Dee's Diner join in extending
Heartfelt Sympathy
to you and your family at this
Time of Sorrow.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. John was a great man and will be greatly misssed, especially at St. Margaret's. We will always remember his wit which leaves us with wonderfu memories. We are sure that he is sharing his wit in heaven with all his friends and family. Our only regret is that we won't be able to attend his wake and especially his funeral. He will, however, be in our thoughts and our prayers.

My thouhts and prayers go out to the Flannery Family. I have fond memroies of Mr. Flannery sitting at our kitchen table visting and having a beer with my Dad (Paul Henson). He was kind and witty and will be missed by many.

Mr.Flannery wrote me a humorous letter over thirty years ago which I still have. He described a wedding anniversary dinner he shared with my late father,Ed,and my mother Mary. His wit was an inspiration to me...his name "Flannery" synonymous with kindness.I'm sure he and my dad are swaping Irish jokes up in heaven.
