Mary Anne and family,
My deepest sympathies are with you and your family. I have fond memories of our grade school days and of the times I visited your home. I remember learning to play 500 at the kitchen table.

Dear Members of the Hurley Family,
Please be assured of my prayers for each of you as you experience the death of your beloved Husband and Father. His faith was so evident to me as he was able to keep his sense of humor in spite of his weakened condition. I pray that the richness of the memories you shared is now a source of comfort and strength.
God's richest blessings be yours. May your Husband and Father know eternal joy.
