To the entire Somerville Family,

You have my deepest sympathy. Father Somerville will be deeply missed. The memories of him will never be forgotten, especially how he use to play on the telephone when someone would call to speak to someone other than him and of course, the memory of him falling asleep at the drop of a hat no matter where he was. I loved him and will miss him dearly. Be encouraged and remember God never makes a mistake. My prayers are with you.
