My sympathy to the Cassidy family. My mother was a resident at Notre Dame, until she passed a week before your father. I would see your father during his frequent visits to your mother at Notre Dame. I attended Mass with my mother a few times per week and would often sit behind your parents and admire the way they looked at one another and took care of each other. I remember him walking into ND so well dressed and always with a smile. I hope Mrs. Cassidy and your family find peace during this difficult time.

Dear Marylou and Family,
I am saddened to hear of your husband's death. What a flood of memories came up when I saw your name and roots in Holliston.

The Williams Family sends their sympathies to your family upon the death of Mr. Cassidy. There are many happy memories between the two families, especially when Sally & Laurie were little. My mother is now near 90, most of the things she remembers are related to Holliston and the Cassidy's are often mentioned.
