  2. To . Gerard Deddie and Family. Our deepest Sympathy to you all. On the passing of James, a loved, Brother, Brother-in Law and Cherished Uncle. May our thoughts and prayers be of some comfort to you all. In your time of sorrow and loss of a loved one.

    Don’t think of James as gone his journey has only just begun. Life holds so many facets, and this world is only one of them. Just think of him as resting from the sorrows and tears. In a place that is all of warmth and comfort and no days or years. think how he is wishing that we could know today. How nothing but our sadness can really pass away. And think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched. For nothing loved is ever lost and he was loved so much. Margaret, Joe and Family
