My heartfelt condolences to the entire O'Donnell family on your loss! I remember Mr. O'Donnell was there for us when my family lost the use of our home due to a fire 38 years ago. He was very kind & did a wonderful job remodeling the house for us; he showed he truly cared about us as neighbors.

Please know you're all in my thoughts & prayers at this difficult time.

Sincerely,
Denise
