Callahan Family - Please accept my sympathy for your loss. "Tommy" was one of the little kids down the block on Monroe in Brookfield when you lived there and I was in Patti's grade at St. Barb's. My late parents Tom and Elinor were friends with your folks.

Friends of God, though they pass away, Will never be forsaken. All those asleep who in God's memory stay, From death they will awaken. Then they will come to see all that life can be: Paradise eternally, according to the scriptures. John5:25,28-29.
