Memories and Condolences
for Thomas Maher

Not sure what to say?





So sorry to hear about the passing of Debbie's grandfather. Sending all my love, thoughts, and prayers from South Florida. When we visited Chicago a couple years ago, Debbie and I had the opportunity to spend the afternoon with her grandfather. Those memories are deeply cherished, and he leaves an incredible and beautiful legacy.
