remembered with love.

TO the McKenna family : We are sorry for your loss. Our prayers to all of you.
Megan, I am sorry to hear about your loss of a family member. It is always hard especially when he is a joy to those that knew him well. What I read is that he was joy to be around and always willing to give a helping hand. Not knowing you that long but seeing how others see your brother I could just imagine the loss and the closeness you may have had with your brother. My God give you the strength to remember the happy days with him and to always remember that he will always be in your heart.
So sorry to hear about Chris. My condolences Kieran, Gloria and family.

I was sad to hear, always a great time with Moose and yes, that laugh was one of a kind! My heartfelt condolences to all the family and friends.
Moose was such a joy to work with on the produce truck, along with Donna. I fondly remember celebrating his "21st" birthday at the hall on Bridge St. Such a joyous and happy go lucky guy "ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE"
