Dear Kathleen and family - I am so sorry to be so late in sending you a message. The news came so suddenly and then we went on holiday as Tony's daughter was getting married overseas. I will always remember the warm welcome from Sean and all of you when I visited years ago. Our love and best wishes are with you all. Love from Anna (Earp), Tony and Steven.xxxx

Da.....we all miss you so much. I wonder if you realized what a huge part of our lives you are. So many people came to say good-bye to you and offer their support. The kindness we received from all of our relatives and friends can never be repaid. I know you would have been proud of your grandchildren. You enriched their lives beyond measure. I for one was told over and over that time will heal our loss of you. I've spoken those same words to others in their time of grief. Every waking moment is filled with memories of you and our family and each memory brings with it the depth of our loss. We all miss you and will never forget you. God hold you close. Love you all the way up to the moon and back. Sharon

Dear Kathleen, Chuck & Sara, Sharon & Paul, and

Sarah & Tim, Peggy & Jordan, David and Bryan,

Helen Keller once said “Death … is no more than passing from one room into another. But there is a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see.”

Shaun has passed to a very special Room where he is reuniting with the relatives and friends who passed before him. Picture him, sharing a joke and throwing back his head in laughter. He looks wonderful, doesn’t he? His face is full and his smile is wide. And the twinkle is back in his eyes. Yes, Shaun has passed from one room into another and there is a difference for him too, you know. Because in that other room, he is free!

We are happy and proud to have known you. You deserve to rest now. God bless you Shaun.

With all of our love,

Nancy Noga

Chuck,



My deepest sympathies are with you and your family. I know exactly what you are feeling right now, as I just went thru it similarly with my mother. Be well, stay strong, your dad is in a better place and you'll all see him again one day.
