Vince & Father Pat,



It is proven again that when two people are so devoted to each other and one passes into eternal life, the other yearns to be reunited with their lifelong mate. Your mom & dad were two of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. My sympathies to both of you and to your family. Be assured that mom & dad are very happy together enjoying their eternal reward.
