Dear Betty and family,
I was saddened to hear of Dan's passing. You and Dan always made me feel welcome in your home when I was teaching at St. Mary Magdalene. I always felt that you were perfect examples of what great Catholic parents should be!

Dearest Aunt Betty and all of my cousins,
I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of Uncle Danny. I remember when he would sometimes work at the gas station. He would always be so sweet to us kids when we were little. He always had a smile for us whenever we saw him. He was truly an asset to the community and just a great guy. I am sorry I could not be at the service today. I understand it was beautiful. I want you to know I am thinking of you and praying for you. Take care and love to you all.
