Marie and Family,
Sorry to hear the news of your father. If you are anything like him then he must have been a wonderful man because you are such a dear soul. During this time I wish you thoughts of courage and strength with much hope that your dear family will soon smile with the many cherished memories. God bless.
My uncle Patsy was a sweet lovable man. But, I will always remember his joking and good humor. I know he is finally at rest with family and friends who have passed before him. Love you, Patsy!
