Aunt Dotty, Dolly, Marianne, Mark and Jeannie; and grandchildren and extended family of Uncle Arthur: We are deeply saddened to hear of your loss. I recall to mind several instances of "Artie's" (I could never get used to that familiarity!) generous, upbeat nature. When we lost our dad, Harry, in 1970 I recall his attempts at the wake to break up the sadness the kids were feeling by talking with us and trying to keep our minds off of our grief for a while, And, more recently, he demonstrated his gregarious nature and people loving skills at his 80th birthday celebration. Artie invited my son, Joshua, about two and a half at the time, to help him blow out his birthday candles - and would not do it without him! I understand Uncle Arthur was a devoted Mass attender too. I imagine the good Lord had a favorable smile acknowledging his arrival in his eternal home. May that same Lord and Savior grant you His peace and comfort your grief as you ask Him to fulfill those promises. God keep you close and bless you.
~The Matthews of Glenmont (John and Joshua)
