Dear Ann and family:

I extend my condolences on the passing of Jim. May he rest in the peace of Christ and may you be comforted by many happy and loving memories of your life together. Though I am far from St. Brigid's know that my prayers will be at the altar of St. Christopher's here in Florida on the day of Jim's funeral Mass.
