AN IRISH BLESSING:

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face
and rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of
His hand......

I will miss your smile and your caring ways.
I am proud to say I am your Daughter -in - Law.....

All my Love,
Sandy

Mrs. Drumm and Family-
Mr. Drumm was a good neighbor of ours on Allman Street in Southwest Philly, and a friend of the entire Doyle family. He was a gentle giant of a man who was blessed to have such a large and loving family. He will be fondly remembered, and we will keep him in our prayers.

Mr. Drum was the nicest guy I knew in SWP. He always had a kind word for everyone. I was very young and often bad and Mr. Drum would still treat me with kindness.
To the entire Drum family I'm very sorry for your loss. He was a great man.

Dear Aunt Joan and Cousins, Uncle Pete was a favorite of so many for his kind and generous ways. If you knew him, you thought the world of him. He was my dad's best buddy! He always had something clever or funny to say when you saw him as he gave you that wonderful smile. You are all in my thoughts and prayers as I know you will miss him dearly.

Love,
John and Maryann Creighton
