Dearest Mary Jo:
Our most sincerence condolences on the death of your dear father. We received the voice mail too late to drive down. But please be assured that we will have a Mass said for him and you and Grace will be in our prayers.
One brief little recollection I treasure. I was 15 and had just learned to drive. Your dad came over to our home on Magnolia. I asked him if I could use his car. Would you believe, he actually let me. I remember driving across Bryn Mawr and entering the Outer Drive heading South. I felt that life just couldn't get any better; just me and Lou Kelly's car. What a guy. Thanks for the memories Lou and God rest your gentle soul
