Not sure what to say?

I first met your God blessed father on a Sunday morning in the summer of 1969 at the entrance of Our Lady of Hope Church. I was 25 and a priest for less than 2 months. He was welcoming, warm, wise, and yes even respectful of this priest who wasn't much older than his own kids. I was impressed with him that day, and have never forgotten his kindness to me.
May he rest in the joy of God's eternal presence.

My condolences to you Michael, may memories remind you of all the love and joy you shared with your dad

So sorry for your loss, a great Irishman gone to the heavens to be with the rest of them..

Dear Carney Family, It was said of John Boyle O'Reilly, "He was Irish and American, intensely both, the world was his country" Mike's unrelenting commitment to the preservation and embracing of Irish - American culture and heritage will also be an enduring legacy. At the A&P, at the JBO, or walking the dog, it was always a pleasure to see him. God Bless.

Michael, my thoughts and prayers are with you..Try and take comfort in knowing your Dad was very proud of you.

Michael, We are sorry for you and your families lose. We are thinking of you. John,Debbi, Adam and Matthew.
