Dear Kathy,
I am so sorry to hear of your dads passing. I know we have not seen each other for many years but I have so many fond memories of your mom & dad during our high school years. All of our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I just lost my dad in October 2007 and I know how hard it is.
Take care.

Dear Fitzgerald Family, I just wanted to say that Uncle Fitzys' generousity to our family will never be forgotten. He was always there for our Mom in times of need. He opened his home to us and there was always a place for his nieces and nephews at the 4:30 Fitzgerald dinner table.
Love, Gina Gaffney
