Condolences to the Family

I am sorry that I could not be with you at Mass and that it has taken me so much time to post. Dorothy took such good care of me during my ‘baby’ priest days at SJN. I am forever grateful to her and her family. I’ll always remember her face and words when I ecidied to welcome a stray dog into our SJN rectory, although I don’t think it was allowed to get any closer to the living quarters than the garage. Fr.

Dottie was a very nice lady. I am sorry that I just saw this and missed the funeral. The Quinn’s were role models for me, and very good friends with my parents, Bob and Pat Rylee. Heaven just got another Angel.
