We offer our sympathy to the Meyer family on the loss of your Mother. We are Fr. John O'Connell's nephew and nieces. We got to know your folks from those great days at St. George Hospital. Your mom and our mom become good friends, exchanging phone calls. Your mom was especially kind and supportive to our mom during Fr. John's health issues. She extended herself many times and comforted our mom. We truly thank her for that. Your mom and dad were a wonderful couple. Uncle John was happy to call them friends, not just hospital contacts.
We pray for all of you.
