To Trish and the entire Cooney Family:

Our heartfelt condolences and prayers on the passing of Joe. He was such a wonderful jovial and kind neighbor. Joe was so well accomplished in his exemplary career, volunteer work, etc., yet in speaking to him, he always appeared quite humble and instead would ask us how our family was.
Your dad was blessed indeed to have his wonderful family by his side these final few weeks. It was a pleasure meeting you all. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you need anything at all. Joe will be missed.
