Sorry we cannot be there at this time, but all of you are in our hearts. We remember the stories about Gungee feeding "Maggie" tea and toast. Every time we met, Eamon had a big smile on his face and I'm sure a song in his heart. God Bless!

Please know that I'm thinking of all of you and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. I'm so happy that I had the chance to visit with you and to go with Angie to the nursing home to see Mr. Gaughan last week. It was so touching to see the absolute love shown towards him that night and I have mentioned this to my family several times. This shows what a good father he was and I know he will be greatly missed.
