Mrs Winsky, George, Allen and Debbie,

I am so sorry to read about your good and wonderful husband/father passing. I would be the first in line to pay my respects but daughter, Kelly, is getting married tomorrow. I want to promise that I will keep Sam in my prayers and thoughts. I pray the rosary everyday and attend daily Mass so be sure Sam and all of you will be upper most in my prayers. God bless you in this time of grief and sadness.

Your good friend,

Thomas F Sullivan
