Dear Mary and Family,
I'm so sorry to read the news today. My son Cameron really enjoyed meeting Ed last year. Ed shared so many past stories with Cameron. We were thankful to have spent a few hours with him on many occasions, while visiting my Stepfather George in the same nursing home. It was so unusual and special that we'd meet again in that nursing home, after being neighbors on Ash Road in the 1990's. I still miss those long conversations Ed and I would have during gardening and outside chores. We had some great ones again recently too. Ed was the best of the best. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Take care and lots of love, Chris, Julie, Cameron and Caroline.

Dear Mrs. Hennessy and Family, My Mom, Janet Gibbons, was unable to attend the service for Mr. Hennessy. She sends her sincere condolences for the loss of your Beloved Husband and Father. He was a great man and a Pillar of the community of Hoffman Estates and St. Hubert's. My Dad surely had a welcome hug for his friend Ed when he got to Heaven. We are keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers.

To Mary, Mark, Mike, Debbie and Kevin: I treasure many memories of growing up alongside your family. I remember Ed as somewhat larger-than-life but friendly and smiling. May God be with you in your grief and loss.

It's only been within the last year that I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Hennessy. I've been a friend of his son Mike for many years. Found Mr. Hennessy to be a very warm, bright, articulate person with a great sense of humor. Also the last two years our Cub Scout Pack 100 has been honored to hold its annual Blue & Gold banquet in the Ed & Mary Hennessy conference rooms at the Hoffman Estates Village Hall building. Our family is keeping the Hennessy family in our thoughts and prayers.

Ed is my dad's cousin. A gathering of the "Hennessy's" always meant laughs, hugs, sincerity, love, a "small town - esq" patience and compassion. Time with Ed almost always started with a smile and a joke and continued with a connection, interest and caring.
I'm certain the recently dwindling monthly Hennessy gatherings are reforming in heaven.
