Not sure what to say?

I think of Pat every Thursday when I attend Mass at Emerald Village.He was always on top of things when getting ready for Mass.

Dear Mary and Family,

So very sorry for your loss. I know your Dad will be greatly missed.

To the MCCafferty Family:

I just learned of your Dad's passing. My deepest sympathies to you on your loss. I will always remember how kind Uncle Pat and Aunt Sally were to me and to my family. I am so sorry I could not personally express to you my condolences. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Thinking of all the McCafferty Clan, especially today as you say your final goodbyes. I'm so sorry for your loss. I want to thank you all for sharing your precious dad and Papa with my family and I. Pat was so special to me and so patient with me(especially when teaching me how to drive!). I will always remember Sally and Pat as my 'adopted' grandparents, they hold a very special place in my heart forever.

I am so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I always enjoyed seeing him at the Cleveland and Little Rock feiseanna and was always touched that he wanted to chat with me each year -- so sweet! A good man who definitely has a special in my heart. We will keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers.

To Mary Kemock and family ,
I'm so sorry to hear about your father's passing . He will deeply missed . My thoughts and prayers are w\ you during this difficult time . May the angels be w\ you and your family always .

The Mayor of Emerald Village and the first person to move into the Village will long be remembered. The twinkle in his eye and his broad smile made everyone happy to see him. I will miss seeing him in the lobby when I go to visit.

Aunt Mary and Uncle Lude,
Keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.
