March 10, 2004

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Debbie and her kids: Joey, Michael and Leanne and to Debbie's husband, Hector. You know first hand how precious life is, and the importance of family, and that is what will get you through the loss of your Dad and Grandfather. And to Uncle Mal, Aunt Anna & Uncle Joe, and Aunt Jean; I can only imagine your pain at losing a sibling, but hope that your memories of happier times will bring a smile to your face. To my Dad, who loved Jackie like a brother, Jackie thought of you as a brother as well, and enjoyed golfing with his good buddy and Lois, too! To Shaun, you have fond memories of your cousin’s generosity and good humor and I am so glad that you had shared some with me. And to all my cousins, I am sure that you have wonderful memories of Uncle Jackie, I know that all of the Boyle kids do! And to Jeannie, Joe, Terry, John and Bob (and our spouses and kids, too) – we have a multitude of Uncle Jackie stories to share when we can all get together and share a parting glass or two!

Love ~ Mary Ann
