To The O'Meara Family:
When my father arrived at the Bostonian for his rehab, he told us that his friend was there and he made it a point to go upstairs to visit him. He spoke fondly of him. I am happy he had the opportunity to see him. Our condolences on your loss.

Dear Chris, Dennis, Nolan, Jill, Margaret and family -
We are very sorry for your loss. When my mother passed there was a lot of comfort in knowing she was no longer in pain and was at last at peace. I hope you can all find that same comfort now. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

O"Meara girls and families,
I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. O'Meara. Thru the years he became a favorite uncle to me. In fact, he once took me for my driver's license test (I failed that one) I remember him coming to my mom's to borrow a cup of milk and his fantastic gift of gab would keep him for hours. All the parties with him dancing, he had such a zest of life and was so full of it for so many years. I know these past years have been hard ones and I hope you find comfort knowing he is at peace. May the wonderful memories of him keep you smiling. I sure will miss him. Thinking of you all and sending big hugs your way

Love,

L.P.
