Kathy and Michael,

I was sorry to hear that your father passed away recently.
I sent a card to Kathy's address, but I must have had an old address, as it was just returned to me.

Please pass on my condolences to Robin. I don't know if she would remember me.

My deepest sympathy to all of you,

Nancy Callahan

Mr. Tobin,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your years of dedicated service and sacrifice-first for our Country when you served with the U.S. Army during WW II and later for the citizens of Boston and Suffolk County when you served with the BPD and SCSO. And to your Family and loved one, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
