I send my sincere sympathy to you, Rosie, and all your family. I know first-hand what you're going through as I lost my husband of 60 years in mid-December last year. May your good memories sustain you through this most difficult time and may God's peace be with all of you!

Dolan Family, so sorry to hear of Eddie’s passing. I have so many wonderful, happy memories of time spent at your house and in your camper at Diamond Lake. In my mind, Eddie was always smiling. You could feel his laughter it was so large!
