Gary:
My sympathy to you on the loss of your father.
I have often thought of you, Suzanne and your mother and father from years ago at Grace Church in Charleston.
May we never forget an old friend.

Cousin Zel, you were one of my favorite cousins of my mom. You were always so kind to me, and fun to be with. My mom also greatly adored you -- she just told me a story about you when you were in the Navy and sending her a toy that I had never heard before.
I know that you will be greatly missed by your friends, former colleagues, and union members everywhere, but your relatives will also deeply feel your loss and will always remember you fondly.

Sully,
You were a wonderful Father-in-Law and I always continued to think of you as a friend. I know that we had many good times together, especially with the DC Friends of Ireland on St. Patty's Day. You will be missed but never forgotten.
Your only Son-in-Law, Steve Love
