Kevin,
I was deeply saddened by the news of your mother's death and
offer you, B.J., Sally, and Ann our deepest sympathies and
heart-felt condolences. We pray the God grant you all an added
measure of His infinite grace and that His Holy Spirit will
bring you consolation in your grief, comfort in your sorrow,
peace in longing moments, and hope in the Resurrection to new
and everlasting life. We regret we cannot be there for the
celebration of your mother's life at the Mass of Resurrection,
but know that she and all of you remain in our prayers,
especially on Tuesday as she is laid to rest. God bless you all
- peace be with your spirit.

Dear Kevin, Brian, Sally and Ann,
I am saddened for you with the loss of your mother and my aunt.
Although I have not seen her in years I will always have fond
memories of her. She was always one with a smile on her face
(even bigger when surroounded by her family!)
She is in a better place now and reunited with Dick, Bud, Amelia
and the rest of the Goshier Gals and I am sure she is rocking
and rolling with all of them catching up on old times.
Consider yourselves fortunate to have had her all the years that
you did and best of luck getting through the holidays without
her.
Take care,
Tom McDermott
Dear Family of Joan,
It was my privilege to spend time with Mrs. O'Shea during her
last days at St. Annes. She was a pleasure to visit even when
she was not well. I knew a few of her interests such as the
lively swing and jazz she kept her radio tuned to and her
interest in old china. She taught me about Beleek china from
Ireland. I went home and googled for it and then returned to
tell her the story of how the factory started. I think she
enjoyed that. I found that my time with her went fast! You
have my condolences. May God bless you.
Rose (Hospice volunteer)
Dear Sally and family,
We are so very sorry for your loss. Unfortunately, we are
unable to attend the service due to illness. Please know you are
in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Becky and Jim Reever
