Begley family. My wife and I were in North Carolina when I heard of Don's passing. We were shocked and deeply sadden. I knew Don through Kiwanis and will certainly miss him. Played golf with him one time.

Dear Barb,
One of my fondest memories growing up was riding in the "old fashioned car" with your dad to celebrate your birthday. I was so sad to hear of your dad's death.
May you feel His loving arms around you as He brings your dad home. May you find comfort and joy in the stories you share and the memories you treasure. May feel the compassion of those that care about you.
Doug and I offer our prayers in memory of your dad.

To Becky and her family,
He wished no one a last farewell,
Nor even said goodbye,
He was gone before we knew it
And only God knows why.
His busy hands are resting,
His work on earth is done,
His worries are all over,
His heavenly crown is won.
So sorry Becky from your neighbors in Barrington IL

Steve and Family,
In Time of Sorrow...
May you see God's light on the path ahead
when the road you walk is dark.
May you always hear,
Even in your hour of sorrow,
The gentle singing of the lark.
When times are hard may hardness
Never turn your heart to stone,
May you always remember
when shadows fall--
You do not walk alone.
...Irish Prayer.
I shall miss my bestfriend's daddy, my Andersen Fire Equipment boss, my pheasant hunting guide and my family's lifelong friend.

Barb and family, and all the Begley families,
What a shock to learn of Don's passing so soon after Father Paul's! We've been praying for your family since the time of Father's passing, and will certaily add Don to our prayers for the faithful departed. It's different, though, when it's your own parent/grandparent, so special prayers will be going up for you, Barb, for Howie and the boys, and all your siblings, neices and nephews, and your mom. May God's peace, comfort, and blessings be yours! In His love, Jackie
