Mr. Breen,
Sir, I didn't know you but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Navy during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Dear Charlie, Jen and Families,
We were sorry to hear about Billy's passing. When I think of Billy I think of a smile on his family and a "Breen" twinkle in his eyes. We are thinking of you during this tough time.
Love,
