Dear Eileen,
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your husband, William. He was a great man and wonderful person to talk to. I'm going to miss all that after church. Unforunately, I just found out about his passing on Saturday when Jack told me. Had I been told sooner I would have come to his wake to pay my respects; and for that I am very sorry. Eileen, please accept my deepest condolences. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
Sincerely,
Don Fegan (Usher at Holy Families Saturday evening mass)
