To the family of Kathleen Clare (McHugh) Keenan: I am fairly well acquainted with Eileen Rolinskas, as her daughters Allison and Lauren went/go to grammar school at St. Mary, Star of the Sea with MY two daughters Adrienne and Alexandra, and are very good friends with each as well.



There are NO adequate words to express my condolences to you and your family upon this great loss of your mother/grandmother...know only that I have felt the same at the time of the loss of MY father in 1992, and EVERY day since that time as well - as have my husband and two daughters.



You, your family (Ron and the girls), and the rest of your immediate and extended family, are in our family's prayers. May the Angels lead Mrs. Keenan to paradise, and remember that '(you) who dwell in the shelter of the Lord, who abide in His shadow for life, say to the Lord: "My refuge, my rock in whom I trust!" And He will raise you up On Eagle's Wings, bear you on the breath of dawn, make you to shine like the sun, and hold you in the palm of His hand.



You are ALL held in the palm of His hand - now in your time of loss and grief over Mrs. Keenan's passing, and every day of your lives as well. May that belief give you strength and comfort as you deal with this devastating loss.



God Bless You all,



Patti Zeleznak (Mr. & Mrs. Randy E.

and daughters Adrienne and Alexandra)
