I was deeply saddened to hear about the loss of Uncle Cooney.
Once again the Family chain is broken and nothing seems the same. But as God takes us one by one the chain will link again. I can just see uncle Cooney now rejoicing and singing with the Heavenly Angels.
Family, please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
With Deepest Sympathy,
