Celeste & Dave Smith
Dear McCarthy Family,
I want you all to know you are in my thoughts and prayers as you grieve the loss of your mom/grandmother. I will always have such wonderful memories of your mom and dad and all the great times we all had on Park Ave. I know the loss you are feeling as dad passed away in Feb. The one thing that I hold on to is the knowledge that both mom and dad are no longer suffering, but are with our Lord. Someday we will all be reunited with all those we have loved and lost in this life. May you be comforted by the presence of the Lord as he shares with you in your loss. Celeste
