May the love and kindness of your family continue to thrive as you support each other at this time of loss. You have known a beloved father and grandfather. The rest of us have known a wonderful brother, uncle, great uncle, cousin and friend. My prayers are will you all.

Billy,
I am so sorry hear about the passing of your dad. I won't be able to attend the service since I am moving to Texas and won't return until next week for the sale of my house. I know you will miss him just as I have missed my dad. I will keep him and your entire family in my thoughts and prayers. Please pass my condolences to your mom for me.

Dear Shirley, May your sadness be firmly supported by your faith and that life is merely changed not ended. And kow that your Dad is still with you though unseen. Please also realize that he is with Jesus and so much happier. May the Blessed Mother help you. Love Liz
