Dear Mrs. Tooney, We offer you our condolences following the very sad news of your dear Seam passing. H Albeit far too early, he has now been called to a far, far better life. May he rest in peace in the arms of his Creator. Dear Mrs. Rooney, words, any words, at a moment like this are useless and entirely meaningless. We are both a great believers in praying for the dead and we will keep him in our Mass intentions and prayers. Please extend our condolences to your partner your other children, Sean's fiance' and to your other immediate and extended family members. May our Good Lord bless and console you all in your grief. Sincerely Godfrey and Joan
