Not sure what to say?

I can still remember hearing of your sudden passing from your family. You were always so gracious and kind to everyone. Both Robert & Joseph adored you they always took their tuition payments directly to you in the office because I was told you were a true Crusader looking after the students every single day. You always had a private conversation with both of them in your office. They always told me as they handed over their payment receipts what you talked about each time. You encouraged...

It's taken me a long time to be able to compose what I wanted to say here, but in in all honesty, I just realized how simple it really was. What I want to say is ....THANK YOU!!!..... THANK YOU to everyone who saw what I saw in my Godmother/cousin.
THANK YOU to everyone who made her the happy person she was. THANK YOU for making her "important" and "notable" in your lives. THANK YOU to those who took her advice and allowed her to make a difference in your life. THANK YOU for loving...

To the McCaffrey Family,

Dene - What a giant! What a winner! Look at her small physical size. She, with that small body had the biggest heart of anyone I ever knew. She spread love where ever she went and to all people who knew her.
I watched my godchild grow to be the woman she was. I wish I could tell you about all the happiness and love she gave throughtout her life on earth. I can just write some words to describe her: KIND, LOVING, GIVING, UNDERSTANDING, FORGIVING,...

Dear Nadine & Family
From the first time our families met we became one family. We have shared many wonderful times together, and we have shared some bad times. You have always been there for us, and we will be there for you. We love you all. We will miss Dean, but we know she and Billy are watching over our family. You are in our thoughts and prayers always.
Marge & Bill McKenna

Dear Mrs. McCaffrey and Family,

Dean had the exceptional ability to live, love and laugh. Whoever she took into her circle found how to enjoy these wonderful qualities too.
What a beautiful testament to her life by family, friends and the Father Judge community the day of her Funeral Mass at St. Matthews Church on August 12th 2008.
Deans body may have weakened however her spirit will stay strong in all of us who loved her forever.
May God hold you in the palm of his hand my...

To all the wonderful McCaffreys:

We are all so saddened by the loss of Dean and were so sorry that we were so far away when we heard that she had passed away. She was very special to all of us and we will miss her deeply. She touched us all with her caring nature and her witty sense of humor. We know she's in a wonderful place with those we love who have gone before her. May your wonderful memories and the love of those around you sustain you during this very difficult...

Dear McCaffrey Family,

I was just a young, naive 8th grader when I first met Dean...thanks to Billy & Theresa! Even before I ventured into the world of Father Judge she started to show me the ropes-stay off the 4th floor, and don't buy pool passes from the Seniors!

I know I wasn't the first incoming Freshman to get that advice, and certainly not the last. She always looked out for me and for that I'll be ever grateful.

I'll alwys remember the fishing trip to LBI and...

Dear Mrs. McCaffrey & Family,

We extend our heartfelt prayers and love to your family at this time. Your sorrow & loss is felt by many who knew your precious Nadine.

As Fr. DeMauro so elequently put into words how she "lived Christ" and "loved so much" - her family, friends, the boys at Father Judge, the Judge Community and all who came to know Nadine. Her Mass was truly a celebration of her life and the beauty, laughter & love she brought to so many. Her laughter & quick wit...

Mrs. McCaff, Jimmy, Jerry, Terry, Chrissy And all the McCaffreys:

Princeton Ave. has lost another "original". I just returned from vacation last week to hear about your loss. I am sorry that I could not be there with you all in this difficult time. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Dean was special in so many ways and will be remembered by everyone whose lives she touched, even if it was only to pick up a late slip at the office or just checking out the hot blond in...
