Sue, Tim and family:
We are so very sorry to hear about your father. I have fond memories of both your mom and dad during our days at Loyola. Our prayers are with you and all your family during this most difficult time. May he rest eternally in the palm of God's hand.
In sympathy,

Nich and Hildegard were our dinner partners at the Carrington frequently and we enjoyed our new friendship. Nich was engaging and friendly and we often looked for empty chairs near them. Nich was extremely caring to his wife and was obviously devoted to her. I've missed seeing him at dinner and wondered why we were on different dining times. I had the pleasure of meeting their daughter, Sue and wish to send sincere condolences to her and the family on this great loss.
