Dear Lori, Rob and Jennifer, I am so sorry for your great loss! Bill was one of the finest persons I know - fun-loving, devoted and always kind! He was a terrific first-born of our generation in the Byrne family! He is missed but I know he is looking over you and his adored grandchildren! Love, Christine (Charlie and Stella's oldest) xo xo xo

Dear Lori and family,
I am sad to hear of your dad's passing. Bill was such a warm and gentle man who loved to joke and share a laugh. He was genuinely interested in other people and his kindness made a lasting impression. My deepest sympathies.

Dear Lori, Rob and Jennifer, I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. Working with your Mom at TDM I got to meet him on many occasions and always enjoyed a pleasant chat with him. I am so sorry that I cannot be with you this week but my heart and thoughts are with you for sure.

For Bill's children & grandchildren, I will see you at dear Bill's funeral but in case I don't get the chance to tell you each in person, it has been an honour to work with your parents over these past many years. I can still hear Maureen's laugh and she is missed, so I'm not ready to miss seeing Bill's big grin too. A delight knowing them ... their goodness lives on in us by how we conduct ourselves everyday. They are not forgotten. They are honoured.

Lori, Jennifer and the Sheahan family,
I am so sorry to learn of your Dad's passing. Having met your Dad and walking the Army Run with him in September, he had this amazing spirit. I was struck by his determination and continued sense of humour. What a gift!
May the memories you hold be a comfort to you in the days and months ahead.
