Sincere condolences on the loss of your husband, father and grandfather. I remember meeting you in Cloonfad, Betty, must be near 60 years ago. (I am Peg Sharkeys daughter)

Jack & Betty were my next door neighbor for 23 yrs. We were close friends and enjoyed many family affairs. He was a strong family man, and best friend, who had the loyal support of a wonderful wife and kids.
We will see you later Jack.

Dear Mrs. O'Grady, Sr. Maureen, and ALL,
How I would love to be there with you as you celebrate Mass at the close of your husband's and father's earthly life! He loves you all very much, and will now have the first chance to experience the joys of heaven where he will be waiting to be reunited with you under the gaze of the Lord whom you all love. I can only join my Mass to yours, and ask Mary to console you as you honor the father of your family, and grow closer to one another at this moment of loss. My love and prayers.

We will all miss Uncle Jackie's hearty laugh, sense of humor, and long stories:} He may have been ready to go home to Heaven, but we were definitely not ready for him to leave. To Aunt Betty and all the kids, we love you and hope you find some comfort in all the warm memories and good times you shared. Thanks for letting us help celebrate his life with you. Love, Alan, Holly and Andrei
