Dearest Therese. Much love & prayers for you & family. Your dad's passing will leave a hole in your heart. One is never ready for a loved one to leave us. May your strong faith knowing where he is now bring you comfort even as your tears still come. Enen though I didn't know him I've enjoyed hearing about him from your many stories. Love you dearly.

With sincerest condolences on the loss of our beloved Joe, who always welcomed and greeted me with a smile, a warm and loving embrace and spoke only words of kindness, love and laughter throughout our 15-year relationship and then marriage to his youngest son, Michael Joseph Francis O'Neill. His truthful and joyful manner will be forever etched in my heart as one to be admired. I loved him so and he loved me right back as he did my mother, Rose, and late stepfather, Milton Gordon.

Dear Therese,
You are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time and always! While we never met "dad' in person; we feel a deep sense of loss. May you remember all the good times and take some comfort in knowing that you were there for him! Over the years, your assistance and love for him must have been a real source of pride for Joe!

On behalf of Catholic Charities, I would like to express my sincere condolences on your loss. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. May you find comfort in knowing that Joseph is now at peace.

Therese and Family:

Know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. What a wonderful and kind soul your father was. I only have fond memories of him and his stout laugh. Always remember my days in the D65 District Office and sitting in the basement with him and sharing a laugh of the good old days gone by.

When we are born our parents carry us. When they get older and leave this earth we carry them. The truth is that they are carrying us forever.

We are all better...

My deepest condolences to Therese, Joe's entire family & friends. Peace & comfort to all who loved him. Thankful to have shared precious times...'Good ole District 65 days' & Friday nights at O'Neills. He will forever remain in my heart as a strong, kind, caring & gentle sole.
