John
I'm so sorry for your loss my condolences to the Connell family. Your dad was always at Mass and always had a smile on his face. He was kind and loved going to church at Saint Patrick's where I met him. I could see he so loved the Lord, and is now with him. May God give you the strength to get through this as I know you were very close to him, your father loved you taking him to Mass. He was a holy man.
Requiem in pace.

My prayers are with the family at this difficult time. I only knew Frank a short time, but he was a sweet and gentle man.
