Dear Katie and Johnny,
We send our love and prayers and sympathy to you at the passing of Aunt Eileen. Her length of years contrasts so sharply with your Dad's short time. Yet now they are together where illness and separation cannot touch them, and where Love and Gladness of Heart prevail.
I have so many great memories from our family gatherings, hilariously funny, dating back to my earliest days, even before you were born.
I loved Aunt Eileen and Uncle Johnny, my Godfather, and you, and will always cherish the wonderful times. Wish I could be with you now.
Love,
Mary (Conaty), and Bill, and Billy Burke
Sarasota, FL
