Rest in Peace

I am so sorry for the sad loss of your loved one.May the God of comfort and tender mercies be with you and your family during this difficult period.

I have remembered you in my prayers always. Even though I moved to La. I have asked Msgr. Seymore about you and how you are doing. PRAYERS ALWAYS.

I didn't have the opportunity to work for Archbishop Gerety but I knew him for many years. He was a beautiful looking man with a great smile. He was kind and if he past through a room no one was overlooked. May he continue his good works in heaven. I still have a beautiful letter he sent me when my mother died. Rest in peace Dear heart.

My sincere condolence. May the family and friends look to God for comfort and strength.

Rest in Peace Archbishop Gerety. I still have fond memories of the day you married my wife and I 13 years ago!

I am so sorry for your lost. May you find comfort in the God of all comfort because he cares for you.1Peter 5:6-7.
