Dear Lois, Dennis, John, Becky & Family: I am very sorry to hear of Jack's passing. I feel so bad that I cannot be with you at this time. I have so many fond memories of him over the past 34 years (especially at the lake). He was truely a wonderful person. Always smiling and easy going. A piece of my heart is gone, it's like losing a brother. My thoughts and prayers are with all of the McDonagh's at this time. God Bless to you and all of your family. Love, Bonnie

Mr.McDonagh will surely be missed by all of us. He really loved his grandchildren and just love to tell us about them. He was an honest man and very well respected. May God be with all of you during this time.

John was our accountant for only one year. Even though I have never met him in person, I sensed the wonderful man that he was. I could tell he was a very sincere, honest and kind man. I will truly miss him and wish I would have met him personally. Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss.
