Mrs. Byrne & Family,

My deepest sympathies to you on the passing of Mr. Byrne. I will always remember his wonderful smile when I would see him at 4:00 mass on Saturdays.

May the memories that you have of him bring you comfort during the difficult days ahead.

His passing reminds us that God only takes the best.

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
May the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And, until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you all.

Deepest Sympathies,

Jennifer & John Valdez
