Dear Quigley Family,
It is with great sadness I write to tell you I am so sorry for your loss. I never did met John, but I know so many wonderful things about him and his life, the sacrifices he made for his family. To his brother Joe, I know he was a hero. Joe has told me many times. The bond between siblings in the Quigley family is legendary and incredibly admirable. Honestly, it's the stuff of novels and movies. I know Joe is brokenhearted. It is difficult to find the right words to try and comfort. I will be seeing Joe tonight, with Elsa and I am at a loss, for the best way to say- I love you at this time....Life is strange and short and for Joe, a man I have come to love deeply- this is a difficult trial. I wish there was a way to make it easier. I love you dear Big Joe Quigley- Sincerely, Beanie Shea xoxoxo
