Dan and Family: Please accept my deepest sympathy at the passing of your father. I was the lector at your father's Memorial Mass. What a lovely eulogy that you and your uncle presented. As someone who has recently lost her mother, it was my honor and privilege to proclaim God's Word. Thank you so much for your generous donation for my services. Please know that the monies will be given to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in memory of your Dad; a very giving and honorable man.

Jim was a faithful lifelong friend. Although our meetings were few over the past years, we managed to keep in touch by mail and phone. We were fortunate to have spent an evening with him in April of this year. Our only consolation is that he is no longer suffering. Please accept our deepest sympathy.
