Mrs. Farrell & Family,

I was totally shocked to hear about "Dr. Bob's" passing, and I am so sorry for your loss. While doing my clinical rotation for nursing school at Baptist, I had the privilege of taking care of him for 2 days. He was so kind to me, and was truly a joy to take care of. I feel very honored to have met him, you, and your daughter, Diane. Again, I am very sorry for your loss, and you all will be in my prayers.

We are so sorry to hear of the loss of Uncle Bob. His warm and genuine smile was so inviting. As an Uncle, he always seemed so happy to see his nieces and nephews. We have great memories of Uncle Bob, Aunt Mary Lou, and the Leroy Street Farrell’s at the Farrell reunions, Catholic Central and in the Binghamton area over the years. With Mark at the reunion this year, it was as if Uncle Bob and Aunt Mary Lou were nearby.

Please know that you are warmly in our thoughts and prayers.

Mike, Corinne, Haley, Taylor, Jamie and Remy Farrell

Dear Aunt Mary Louise, Bob, Dave, Ed, Mark, Bruce, Diane and Families,

We are all very sad to hear of Uncle Bob's passing.

Your Thanksgiving visits to Drexel Hill gave us many happy childhood memories, how he drove six lively children and one "Sugar" dog for hours on the most popular travel day of the year. He will be greatly missed.

You all will continue to be in our prayers -- that God's great love and peace surround you during this time.

Please give your Mom an extra hug for me.

Love to all,

Kathy (Thomas) Giuliano
