There are no words to bridge the gap she left...only the faces of her children and grandchildren to dimly reflect the beauty that glowed from inside her.
Tom,Matt,Jamie,Betsy and families, please know that Jasper and I are truly sorry for her passing..I'd always wished that we would have one more chat on the front step together. She comforted more souls than we can ever know, and touched lives,like mine, in more ways than I can tell you. I wish you all peace. Jackie(Sheehan)Hamor and Jasper Sheehan

The words we want to say...
Are difficult to find sometimes.
Their journey begins far,
Far away in the heart.

With sincere condolences,
