Janet, Jennifer, Michael & Jeannie,

I am going to miss your dad SO much. He was the kindest man I ever had the honor of knowing. I don't think I ever saw him NOT smiling. I am so thankful to have spent a short amount of time with him last 4th of July week. I will remember him always.

Jeanne, Mike, Janet, & Jennifer:
I’m so very sorry to hear about your father. I remember how kind your father and mother were to all of us friends of Jeanne.

I will always remember him as a great father who was very kind and caring, and especially what a wonderful couple and terrific parents he and your mother were.

I know how very sad you and the family must be; and hope you find comfort in the fact that your mother and father are together in heaven.

I am very sorry I could not have made it up there for the services.

In our thoughts and prayers,

Love,

Paul and Patrice Linehan
