To the Daly family,
Many years ago I used to babysit for all 3 of you boys when you were little kids. I always liked sitting for your family. Your parents were so friendly and pleasant.
So sorry to hear the news about your Dad. My condolences to the entire Daly family.

Daly boys,

I'm sad to hear this news, and can't imagine the sadness you all must feel; however, I hope you can be comforted by the faith your Dad lived. I enjoyed being around your Dad, and his many kindnesses have given me fond memories of the corner of Stella and Geranium.

I will keep y'all in my prayers.

My condolences, God bless him and his family. He was a wonderful doctor. A kinder man or better doctor I've rarely met.

My sympathies and prayers go out to the entire Daly family. I know what a loss you must be feeling at this time. He was a great man, one of the best of the best! I was a patient of his for 15+ years. He was one of the kindest and most compassionate doctors I have ever met. He set a very high bar for healthcare professionals and I have not found another doctor quite like him. He and I used to talk gardening at length on every visit.

Dear Pat and Scott and family,
It has been so many years since we have seen you all, but what fond memories I have of Jack's friendly greetings whenever we saw him, his great pleasure and pride in Scott's job for Disney in France...what a dear, enthusiastic person! I know your memory bank is full of wonderful memories. Peace to you all.
Fondly, Mary Sue Roniger
