Dolly and Hugh,



I can't tell you how sorry I am for your loss. At least you have the comfort of knowing that your Mom is not suffering any longer, and is in Heaven once again with your Dad. I'm flying out to Ireland tomorrow, or would have come to the wake. I'll raise a glass to your folks while on the home sod. I hope you and your families are doing well. God Bless You.
