Dear Maureen and family,
I was saddened to read of your father's death. I still have the memory of your family's kindness in inviting me to join you for a family dinner when we were in nurse's training at St. Mike's. It was so wonderful to be accepted as part of your family for the day and I will always remember how welcoming they were and how enjoyable the day was. Thank you again many years later.
May you all be consoled in your sorrow that your father is with your mother and his journey on earth has ended while his eternity has only begun. God Bless.

Thank you to the Keating Family for notifying us of Jack’s recent passing.
We are very sorry to hear the news.
Unfortunately we are unavailable to make it to the funeral home or Mass.

As we reflect about Jack, he was always very bubbly , and had a big smile.
He enjoyed his family and friends.

We extend our condolences to all of the Keating Family.
Our thoughts of sympathies and prayers are with you.
