Dear ones: My heart goes out to all of you. I wish I could be with you. My prayers are with you now and will be always. You are one of the most stong and close families I've known. I know that God will guide every step you take and carry you when needed. Look to the sunshine, see the rain, hear the song birds and know that his spirit will always be with you forevermore. Heaven has gained angel.



Much love, Connie

Dear Pat, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. He was so nice to me when I worked at the Priory. I still tell stories of all the foods he made me try, and if I didn't like it, he'd make me something else...but like a good dad, he always made me try everything! My prayers are with you and your family.

On behalf of St. Vincent Ferrer Grammar School, Class of 1959, we offer our condolences to Bob's family. We all have fond memories of growing up with Bob.



Personally, our family remembers Bob and Mary Virginia providing feasts for our guests after our son, Dennis', celebration Mass and for our daughter's wedding rehearsal dinner. These are special memories.
