Dear Father Ted,
My wife and I wish to express our heartfelt condolences on the death of your mother. When we were parishoners at Our Lady of Grace, the girl scouts had a project of writing Christmas letters to shut-ins. My daughter Naomi (whose birthday is coincidentally March 18, like the Cardinal's) was assigned your mother, so we felt a special connection, and now a sense of loss. You are in our prayers, Father.

Whenever Tony Kuick and I get together, we always talk about you and your mother. She was a delightful, gregarious, and lovely person. I was so honored to know and work with her during your installation as Bishop of Green Bay. I’m sure she will have an honored place in heaven. My deepest sympathies to you and your family.
