Aunt Mary Lou and family,

I was deeply saddened to hear of Uncle Jim's passing.

Kay and I will keep you all in our prayers, knowing he will be in Heaven with Pa and Gee Gee, Mom and Aunt Kay.



I remember Uncle Jim being the only one who ever called me Seamusin, Young James. I remember him telling me that was his name when he was young, and since I was named after him, it was my name too.

To Mary Lou and the entire Fahey family, and especially to Mary, our wonderful daughter-in-law, we wish to extend our sincere condolences. Although we didn't know Jim well, we know that he lives on in all of you and hope that gives you all some measure of comfort. We wish we could be there with you as you give him a great Irish send off and we know he made it to heaven long before the devil knew of his passing!

May you find comfort in knowing that your dear one is with our Lord free of pain and telling great stories to the spirits of the Fahey Clan. I pray that you will feel the peace, the Grace and Love of our Lord, as He is holding each one of you during the forthcoming days.

I loved knowing Jim, even when he made me get up at 6am to go to breakfast during our visits.

Uncle Andy and I love all of you and will keep you in our prayers.
