My deepest sympathy. Since I just lost my husband, I know what you are going through. Your Mom and Dad are together again now and I pray for all of you in this sad time. Your Mom and Dad will be remembered fondly by many in the parish.

Our deepest sympathies to all of you on the passing of your father. Your parents opened their home to so many of us in our childhood days, and everyone knew your house with the big, yellow smiley face that greeted all who passed by! From pool parties to car pooling, we were always so appreciative of the warmth and welcoming your parents provided to so many of us in the neighborhood. As a family who knows what it took for a father to raise ten children, we believe your father's reward will be great in Heaven.
Our prayers go out to your father, your mother, and to all of you.
With deepest sympathies,
The Tonrey Family
