    Steve and Shelly, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Steve’s father. I did not have the pleasure of knowing him, but if the acorn fell close to the oak, he was a grand gentleman. Oddly, the way I learned of this was by coming to the web site to get the URL for my mother’s obituary; she died three weeks ago. Thus, I can offer not only sympathy, but empathy. I will hold the family in prayer and remember you in my rosary today.

    God bless you all!

    I am so sorry for your loss. Please let Jane know my mom is almost always home if she needs to get out of the house for a visit–I’m sure my mom would like the company too.

    Your family is in my thoughts & prayers.
