Dear Dina and Mandy and Family:
Greetings from Southern California where the great family connections between the Devlin and Colleran clans first began. And what a journey it has been.
Love and appreciation to all.

I want to offer my very sincere condolences about the passing of your parents. I was a dear friend of theirs and spent many days with your father. He always spoke so highly of his kids. I moved back to the Midwest and Peter came to visit. Somewhere along the lines I lost their phone number. I had reached out to friends and they were unsure how to contact them as well since their move.
I am coming to California for peters good friends sons funeral in a few weeks.
I was wandering if you would ever be so kind to tell me if there is a grave site to which I could say my goodbye and leave flowers?
Once again my condolences.
From a small town Iowa girl-
