Dear Family of Robert Delaney:



We are so sorry to hear of your loss. My aunt, Iris St.Clair, and I were only able to meet our cousin Bob once in Chicago. He was a very good and kind man. I spoke to him many times on the telephone quizing him about the history of our Delaney family. He was always very helpful and gave me a lot of information on the family. We will miss receiving cards from him and talking to him long distance, but he will always be remembered. He had such a long illness, but we are sure he is in God's hands and in a peaceful place now. We wish we could have met all our Delaney Family, but we are so glad we were able to visit and have dinner with Bob, his daughter, Kathleen, and her husband, Bill, on that trip to Illinois and Wisconsin.
