My sympathies to all who loved and cherished Larry. I know her husband better from being in St. Raphael's Choir with him in the early '70's. You could always count on Larry to be there at church when the choir sang whether it was Mass or a wedding or concert.

God Bless you all.

I only met Larry a couple of times,but feel like I know her through my uncle and aunt, Jim and Eileen. She was a very good friend to them, and will leave a big void in their lives. I know that Bud will find strength and comfort in his family and friends.

To the Kealy family, my thoughts are with you in the loss of your sweet, wife/mother/grandmother. Although I did not know her well, I do know that she was a kind and loving women. I've never heard anything but good stuff about her. I'm Katie's best friend, and there was never a family event that I attended, where Lorraine did not take the time to talk with me, and make me feel welcome. She was loved a lot by many people, and she raised an awesome family! She will definitly be missed.

-My thoughts and prayers are with you, Angela.

Grandma, I love you so much and I will miss you more than you know. You were the happiest lady I ever knew. You were always making me smile. You are so strong. Until god reunites us, I love you and miss you. Katie.
