To the Shannon Family – I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. This is a time of both great sorrow and reflection for a family collectively and family members as individuals. I take comfort in knowing how close your family is to each other and have seen, first-hand, the support that you are able to provide in a time of need. On a more joyful note, Steve has someone to share stories with now—and I bet there pretty good ones! I look forward to sharing this time of joy, remembrance and sorrow with you tomorrow. Remember—God always, always, always provides what we need.

Uncle Ed,

You were always a warm, loving man who was quick with a smile. I was blessed to have you as both an Uncle and a Godfather. You will be missed?
