Dear Wootton Family,
As a family member of The Church of the Good Shephard in the 60's and 70's we remember your father and your family fondly.
Many lasting friends and relationships are still going strong through that parish and through your dads leadership.
I have continued the tradition of serving in our local Episcopal church in Medfield MA while raising our family in Norfolk.
May his soul rest eternal with our Lord and God Almighty.
Sincerely,
Peter E. O'Neil
And O'Neil Family, Cindy, Rod and Greg.
