1-14-2021. So grateful for St. Mary Magdalene Catholic Church and Thomas McAfee Funeral Home for the funeral Mass today and thankful that John Wade was able to attend. Father Ray was wonderful for delaying the start so John could make it. Funeral Home owner, Mr. McAfee, was there to comfort and guide us through. Mira from St. Mary Magdalene was wonderful setting up everything. Thanks to Michael McGary for arranging for zooming the service for those unable to attend and thanks for the comfort and support from several other local parishioners who attended the Mass. I was told that the funeral Mass an important part in Dad’s journey to peace and happiness. He cannot do it alone; Brian was designated to help in the journey by representing all family and friends and was honored to do that. When travel is safe again, Interment will be at Calvary Cemetery in Queens, NY.

A letter to Dad
You never got the baby brush that I bought to brush your silky hair but the people at Hospice kept it nicely combed. They had a handmade afghan on you to keep you warm. You were shaved and your skin clean and moisturized. Your room overlooked the Reedy River, and the fall colors were still in bloom. Brian visited every day to tell you how much you are loved. The Chaplin visited each day also. On Tuesday afternoon, 12/1/2020, the Priest administered the Anointing of the Sick. I hope he comforted you while you were still on earth and that you joined your God joyously.
