Hi Sue -

I am so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I have such fond memories of both of you that I will cherish forever. You both were so special to my grandma and grandpa, and still to my mom and all my aunts and uncles, and also to myself and Megan. I will forever hold dear the phrase "PLOP, PLOP, FIZZ, FIZZ, OH WHAT A RELIEF IT IS"!

See you in June,
Love, Shannon

Sue, Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. We are so sorry for your loss. I remember when you two were first married and stayed in Mom & Dad's apartment on Winchester while we went to New York. I remember babysitting with your wonderful family, and all the great times our families had together. It was an honor to have known Bob, and you. You were the best example of what a marriage could and should be. Chuck and I will miss him.

Aunt Sue and Cousins,
I am deeply saddened by the loss of Uncle Bob, my godfather. Even though I haven't had as many opportunities to spend time with him since our move to Arizona, I will always cherish those times we did share, especially those from when I was young. He always had a hug for me, or a lap to sit on, no matter how old I got. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.

For many years I have admired his strength (as well as the entire family's) when David passed, seen the hurt when we lost other loved ones.His keen wit, loving eyes, caring heart and kind nature will surely be missed by all. His love for Suzy is inspirational and few of us could be lucky enough to find a man like "dad Fahey". I know I will miss him. With love and sincere condolences,
