To Billy, Diane, Regina, Jim, Maurette, Josh, Celeste and Stephan & all the grand kids. It is with a heavy heart that I am sending these condolences. I was so shocked to hear of this tragic news. Your dad was such a wonderful person and will be deeply missed by so many.
Our prayers and love are with you all.
My continued heart felt sympathies to Celeste and your entire family at this difficult time.
May you find strength and comfort in each other and in your faith. Much love.
Our deepest condolences to your family — your Dad was a parishioner of St. Monica’s Church and was seen every Saturday at the 5:30 Mass along with his a daughter and son. Your Mom, when she was a nurse in the North Branford school system was a friend of mine — she was a wonderful woman.
Our thoughts are with all of you and our prayers with your Dad.
