Dear Doorey Family,

Just found out from cookie abot your dad. You were always such a kind loving family because of the wondeful parents. Always a grand smile and hello. I can remember the great smells on Sunday with Bridget making lamb chops on the grill. I still miss you all. Hard to believe it's been over 15 years.

My sympathies and blessings to you all. Kathy

Dear Bridget and family, I'm so sorry to read of John's passing. I can remember when you moved in next door and it was pouring rain and John came into our house to get dry, while he waited for someone to let him into your house.

You were always such pleasant neighbors. Take care...Beth (Cookie) Valenta-Lanious
