Liz & family,
May God be with all of you in your time of despair. There are loads of memories that remain with me and my family as I was raised on “the Run”. As I may not know how it feels to lose a husband or father, I know how it feels to lose someone so close as I lost my brother. Don’t lose faith and just take it one day at a time.
Always remember “God only takes the best.”
With Love,

Tom, Fran, & Tommy Plunkett
