Not sure what to say?

To my favorite Irish family,
I can’t express how sorry I am for the loss of such a great man. Your family was and IS an inspiration to me-you’re such a wonderful group of people. Please remember you are ALWAYS in my thoughts and prayers-especially during these hard times.
Love,
Ronnie

Dear Ginny,

I am so very sorry to hear about Jack. My deepest sympathy is with
you and your girls. What a wonderful reunion it must have been for him and Maureen..

I have one memory(among many) of Jack and that is when Aunt Mary had died and we were outside the funeral home, I remember Jack holding Maureen in his arms as she was very small, making sure she was ok and all.

I pray that you can take comfort in knowing that his suffering is...

Ginny,Kathy,Genie,and Ellen,
I am very sorry on your loss of such a wonderful husband, father and pop pop. He was truly a wonderful man and will be missed. I am so glad Tommy had the chance to be with his pop pop while he was here. Just remember that he will be taking all the wonderful memories that he had with all of you up to heaven to Maureen to fill her in. He will always be with you no matter what. To my sister in law Genie: If there is anything you need please let me know. I love...

Dear ellen,
Sorry to hear about your dad. even though i really didnt know him he sounded like a great father. I know he is in heaven looking over you right now. If you need anyone to talk to i am here for you.

Your friends in CT are with you in thought and prayer. Much love to you, your mom and sisters.

Dad, I miss you. You have had the most influence on my life. I always wanted to make sure that the decisions I made were ok with you. I thank you for being a great man in my life, thank you for the guidance that you've given me. Thank you for loving mommy and setting an example for me to follow. I am so happy that you had time with the baby. He loves you so much. I will try to guide him with the wisdom that you gave to me. I love you and I miss you.

I remember you better as "Jack". We shared asthma meds as kids. Whenever I went to the Vare swimming pool I would always stop at your house before going home. John, you will be missed.
Love,
Your cousin, Patti Rile

Dear Genie,Ginny,Kathleen,and Ellen:
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Take comfort in knowing that Maureen is with her dad. Your dad was a great man whose love of life is reflected in all of you. I will never forget his "Mac Daddy Caddy" and the sight of him half dressed ready to walk Genie down the aisle. I love you all,
Lee-Ann and Jimmer
