Dearest Richard and Rosemary. It is so hard each year to remember that you have left us. You were such a truly amazing couple, your kindness to everyone you met will always be remembered especially by me. If I had one wish it would be to have dinner with you both one more time and talk about the good old days. You are both forever in my heart. Love to all the family. Mary Lea (England).

To Cynthia and family. It was with the greatest shock that I heard of your mother's death. Rosemary was a beautiful soul both inside and out. I had tried to call her recently on your dad's anniversary sadly it was not to be. I know that they are both happily reunited and are looking down on you all with love for everyone. Richard and Rosemary will remain in my heart forever. I wish you love, peace and strength through this sad time. God bless you all. Mary Lea x (London. UK).

Dearest Dad,
My goodness, it's 2020 and we are all locked down in a worldwide pandemic. Mom and everyone is well. It's a crazy world Dad. I'm posting a picture of Luca Paul, he's 5 years old now and if possible more wonderful each day! You are missed more each day. But I feel our world is bringing us to such a demise that our Lord may just come end it! I love you, thank you for teaching me to be a good person.
Your daughter,
Catherine M.
Luca Paul 5 years old now!

Dear Dad,
A letter to heaven to you and all the Angels and Saints you are now in the company of. An everlasting life of glory you earned through agape love. Sacrifice. Pure goodness. Your love and devotion to Our Lord and faith during your life here on earth. Thank you for teaching us this and setting the example of a good life we should all work at everyday to live. You're missed today even more, if possible than the day you left this earth to be with our Lord in Heaven. Thank you Dad, I love you. Kiss Karen, Gram and all our loved ones you share the Glory of Heaven with. I live for the time I will join you. I'll love you forever and forever you'll always be my Dad. Your grateful daughter, and middle child, Catherine Margaret.

My uncle was one of the best men I have ever known. He was loving, tolerant, and a lot of fun. He cared for everyone.

To my Grandfather...
I thank God for every second that I had you in my life, and I thank God that a man like you is now watching over me. I love you so very much. You were a living angel and made this world a better place. I know that for the rest of my life I will ask myself, "What would Grandpa do?" You were the most amazing man I knew in every way. Thank you for being my Grandpa. I will miss you until the day I get to see you again, Shealeen Elizabeth

Uncle Richard you were and always will be more to us than just an uncle. To the kids you were like a grandfather and to Will and I an inspiration. Your's and Rosemary's love for one another and your family set a great example for all to follow. We will miss you and the way you made us all laugh tremendously.

Richard, a former student of mine in Grade School at St. Patrick School in the 1940's in Spfld., IL., has been a source of great joy for me over the past few years since we have been able to cummunicate via E MAIL. May All the good example he has given others throughout his life time be a source of comfort for all his loved ones who mourn his Passing.
