I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I remember your Dad as an incredibly kind man who always greeted us with a smile. I know that God gave him to the world so that he could help so many in their troubles, and God has him now, and your father is receiving his just rewards in heaven.
Take care

Kitty and Family,
I wish I could come Thursday but I can’t pull it off.
i will have Dick in my intentions for mass Thursday morning. I am so grateful for all he taught me in the 80’s and 90’s. He was so good to me as a young priest and shared trips with Fr. Bill .
I am sure he will enjoy seeing many old friends in the next life like Ed Higgins and Fr Bill.
I know it’s been a long journey. May he rest in peace.
