To Tom Harney, Jr. & Family



My condolences on the passing of Thomas Sr. My great-grandfather was born in Ahascragh, Balinasloe, Co. Galway. Mathew Raftree - He came over here in 1857, died outside of Libertyville at his home in 1892. Ahascragh is very small. My wife and I went through there last year at this time -- I thought it was unusual to even see the small town in print again. Tom Sr. is in Heaven now and could be having a pint with Mathew.

Good Luck,

J. Blair Raftree

Tom and Helene,



Please accept my deepest sympathy at the loss of your dear father. Reading that he was a life-long member of the Carpenter's Union Local #13 brought back loving memories of my dad also. My prayers are with you and your family.
