Pat,
Even though we don't see one another very often, I just wanted to say how very sorry I am for your loss. Your brother Mike just told me and I couldn't believe it. There was something about Kieran that reminded me of my Dad. God bless you and your family and I hope to see you soon. I will never forget our days in high school, driving around and singing in your car.
love,
kathy (kearney) graham

To the Griffin Family. Our deepest sympathy to you. Griff will be deeply missed here in Blue Island. He was a great asset to the city. Friendly, helpful, understanding and kind. I will never forget that he would always asked me about my baby son, although he had never met him.

There are no words to express how painful it is to be doing this. Never did I think this would be the out come, or maybe I just did'nt want to believe. I hope you know how much your friendship meant to me. I will miss our talks, joking around and your "friendly advise", which I always took to heart. You are and always will be close to my heart. It is an honor and I feel truly priviledged to have had you as a friend. You will be so missed. To Pat, Erin and Matt, your husband and father was the best. Thank you for sharing him with the rest of us.

Patty, we are so sorry to hear the news about Griff - our hearts go out to you, Erin and Matt as you try to work through this tremendous loss. My memories of Griff are fond.

So sorry I could not make it in for today & tomorrow's services but I hope to catch up with you in the summer at a girls get-together. Meanwhile, know that you and your family are in our thoughts & prayers. Love and miss you much, Kathy (Sulzer) Schroeder.
