    You will now be with your Wife, Mary, Daughters, Maureen & Patty, and Son, Kevin. Your Great-Children, Kevin, Conor, Sean & Samantha will miss you also. I, Kevin's wife, will miss you also. Every time I look at the TV, I will remember you saying "Look at the color on that set" and also the pictures you took of the "Food" at all of the family gatherings. You won't have to be at the kitchen sink any more listening to Myron Kope, you will be with him. May God Bless You for all the good things you did during your time here on Earth.
