Katie,
Words can not say how sorry we are to hear of the passing of your father. I know how close you were to him and what a wonderful man he was. I’m so glad that he was able to meet Emmet. Family meant everything to him and I know you will miss him very much.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all,

Mrs. McManus,
We are very sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. McManus. He is a great man, a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. A great story teller too!
John, Tom, Steve, Margaret and Kate – we have known your father as long as we have known John, and there is not a day that ever went by without John reciting a story about your dad that somehow always managed to bring smiles and tears of laughter. We too know that family meant everything to your dad. The McManus family is in our thoughts and prayers during this period of sorrow.
Respectfully and fondly,
Sean and Diane Brogan

To the McManus Family:
I am so sorry for your loss. I met Mr. McManus at Ellen and Tom’s wedding, and it is clear at first introduction: he was a wonderful man. It was also crystal clear how much he adored his family.
Thoughts and prayers,

Dear Mrs. McManus, as President of the Roscommon Association of Boston I express sincere sympathy to your family from all of our members of the club.
I am so sorry to hear of your father’s passing. It’s been over 30 years but I still remember him like it was yesterday. He was a wonderful and caring family man. I was very fond of him. He left a mark on me that I’ve carried everywhere I’ve been. Wish I could have said this in person. Hope some day to see you all again. You are in my thoughts and prayers, God Bless.
