Dear Mary, Michael, Edward, Patrick & Sally,
I am so sorry to hear about your dad and I am also sorry I was not able to pay my last respects. I have fond memories of your home, mom & dad. Your home, was my home away from home. Both of your parents were wonderful and kind people. May the sadness you feel now be softened knowing they are together again and in a wonderful place.
Your Friend,

To Mike McGovern:
You knew my brother Rich Barnat from Alpha Beta Gamma at DePaul, and were kind enough to escort me to my senior prom at Mother Guerin High School in '72. My brother and I lost our dad in '91, and our mother last year. It's hard in a whole different kind of way when both parents are gone. You'll cherish the memories and become even closer to siblings. Please accept my sympathy to you and your entire family.
