To the O'Shea family:



Hoping that this message will show you in some way the sympathy that words alone can never really say.



Losing a second child, I am sure you feel the bottom has dropped out of your world. There is nowhere to go but up from the depths of despair and, little by little, I sincerely pray that time will begin to heal your grief.



Please accept my heartfelt sympathy and may a lifetime of memories give you the strength and comfort that you need in the days ahead.



With deepest sympathy,

Teri Wilson

My deepest condolence to the O'Shea Family. Frank

Deepest sympathy to the family and a fond memory of Brian, I Sean, will not forget. It seems like just yesterday Brian flagged me down in my cab. He was eight years old and his Grandmother had given him money to take the cab home to West Rogers Park. When he got in (not recognizing who I was) he asked me to stop at McDonalds so he could get a Big Mac. I said, only if you get one for me. Then he recognized me. He said he would and I stopped but kept the meter running. When he came back he questioned the meter still running when he just bought me a hamburger. When I dropped him off the meter was off and I didn't charge him for the ride. He left with a smile on his face and a full stomach.. Through the years when we met we often laughed about our cab ride. .
