To the Daly Family:
Our sincere condolences are extended to you at this time. My father, Thomas Villardito, worked with Mike for many years in the real estate department and he shared many memories with us. Mike was a very nice man and showed a great deal of respect to our family. He will be missed and we grieve your loss and our prayers are with you at this time. I am hopeful that my Dad and Mike are swapping stories in heaven.

I would like to extend my sincere condolences to the Daly Family. I did not know Mr. Daly but I have loss a dear loving father in death. I find comfort in the Bible where it tells us that "Our Heavenly Father will actually swallow up death forever, and he will certainly wipe the tears from all faces. May you find comfort in this text.
