Mr. Farano, I send you this Irish Blessing..."May the road rise up to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, and the rain fall softly upon your fields, and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand." Love from The Finnegan Family

To the family of Papa Farano,

Papa was always fun to be around and we always enjoyed his company. The topic of fishing almost always came into our conversations, especially when Paul was around. We have to believe that not only is he with Nana now, but he has to have a fishing pole in hand and a smile on his face.

We are keeping all of you in our prayers,

Paul, Sharon, Krista & PJ Garbacz
