Louis - I don't know if you will remember me, but I'm from Holy Name, and my mom was in ICU at Resurrection with your John. When she died, you hugged me like Father and I can't tell you how that helped me. I used to see you and Sandra with John at Mass and was always so impressed by your very obvious care and love. I have wondered how he was doing, and when I had to read notice of his passing last weekend at HNC I almost couldn't get the words out. May God bless you now and forever, Barb Ramberg

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Casa
I was so sorry to hear about John.
Many of my childhood memories of growing up in South Holland have John in them.
I will always remember his smile and laugh. He always had such a gentleness about him. You will be in my prayers.

To the Casa family,
My deepest sympathy to you on the passing of Johnny. I remember Johhny for his smile and his laugh. He was a gentle giant and will always be remembered as a neighbor who taught me much about life. My thoughts are with you and I'm sorry I was unable to attend. The Casa family always met much to the Mahoney family.
