Dear Aunt Mary, Cindy, Mary Beth, and Joanie:
It's so strange that God has chosen your husband and father so near a time as my dad (and Pope John Paul). It seems that all of a sudden, heaven is feeling up with such great men. Boy, I can just imagine the conversations! Well if there's anyone who knows what you all must be going through, it's myself, my sister and brother, and of course our mom. I know how much you all loved Uncle John, and I know how much you will miss him. But you must take solace in knowing what a wonderful and full life he had, and that you all had a chance to tell him how much you loved him and that you're all such a close family. Only time will make this easier, and prayers from yourselves, and family and dear friends. Remember that it's Uncle John that's happy now, and relieved of his old body, and it's us that feels lonely....not him!! He's with God now! He was a wonderful, loving, and forever smiling and cheerful man on earth....now it's time for him to live his reward in heaven. God bless him!!
Love,
Frank Fumich

To Mrs. Mary Murphy:
Please accept my deepest sympathy in the passing of your Husband, John. I am a friend from the St. Mary's Cardiac Rehab group.
I remember he was always so kind and giving to others. At times, I would collect for flowers for one of our members that may have been in the hospital. Also, I collected for baby gifts for two of our therapists, who had new babies. Mr. Murphy was always so happy to contribute and always had a smile. I am sorry I didn't know he was ill. May God be with you and your Family at this difficult time.
With sympathy,
Joyce Johnson

I'm sorry that we will not be able to come to the memorial and see Joan. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers.
