Mary and Family,
I am so very sorry to read of the death of your dad. He was one of my favorite people. I miss you and think about you often. You had been my other family. I have so many wonderful memories of you and your mom and dad. It all seems like yesterday. I do regret not getting down to see your dad. I will have Masses said for your mom and dad and keep all of you in my prayers.

My deepest sympathy to the entire Mulligan family. I used to live next door to them on 11th St. NW many years ago. Jack and Ardy were both GREAT people. I babysat their children occasionally. Having lost both my parents in the past four years, I know their loss.

My deepest sympathy to your family with the loss of Jack. He was a fine gentleman. Joe & I often sat with him in the dining room at Nobles Pond. I lost Joe last June, so I know how you are feeling. You are in my prayers.

One of my lifetime goals was inspired by Jack and Ardy. Countless summer evenings they would walk hand in hand through the old neighborhood. I carry the image of your parents strolling along together as one of the most loving moments a couple can share - just being together and sharing.
May you find comfort in the memories of your father.
