Nick and Family, I am so sorry to hear about your fathers passing. Had I known, I would have been there. I will always remember the great fishing trips we've all had together. Let me know if there's anything I can do.

Larry and Family: My deepest sympathy goes to you and your family. I lost my mother on December 19, 2007. I hope you will take comfort in knowing that I am praying for you during this most difficult time. The St. Mary's Hopice house was a blessing to my mother and our family. I am sure they were great for Noel too.
Lots of love and prayers, Allie McCarthy
