Hi Flo,
We haven't talked in quite a long time but I do remember the night you and Vic came to my home in Oceanside, Long Island to meet my and my husband, Patrick for the first time...I don't think I made a very good impression on you but I know that my Patrick always did....We were meeting bacause your son, Vic and my daughter Kathy were getting married on April 6, 1986. Gosh, it seems so long ago and both of us have been through so much since then...
Vic and Kathy had our first two grandchildren, Kaitlin, now 24 and Steven, now 21.....I remember when Kaitlin was born that your son gave me a small album just for Pat and I of Kaitlin's birth..I'm sure she would be horrified today to see it but he was such a proud papa.....
Things did not work out for them, which so often happens, but sometimes it is for the best..
I'm so sorry that this is so late coming but I didn't really know about it and just stubbled on his Obituary this evening...I know you have spent many days nursing Vic with his kidney problems and like my Patrick, he is finally at rest after a long struggle with his health...
I know you are such a strong woman and I'm sure that you are doing fine now...You just miss that prescence in your home and someone to give you that special hug of reassurance....
I hope that your family is doing fine now and that you have moved on to a better place in your life...I'm truly sorry for your loss and hope that the future years will bring you some joy and contentment.....
Now my husband has his oldest son with him and that is something that I don't wish on anyone...god bless them all and each time I find a penny or any coin on the ground I know it is my son, Patrick telling me he still loves us all despite his illness...We have been truly blessed.
Love, Judy O'Dea xoI

We are both so sorry for you and your family. We know how he will be missed by all of us. We will always remember the good times of talking and sharing stories with him. He fought a good fight, enduring so much, and was able to enjoy life up to the end by overseeing the gardening and having you and Tracy dig more holes to plant more plants. We used to laugh at his iron fist and control over what and how things got planted.
He is in a better place now with God and has no pain. Hope God is ready for Vic to help out. And just remember, Vic is still watching out for you because he loved his family so much; never forget that fact.
Love you all.

Daddy..
You know I have started this over and over, the words just wont come out right, not that it really makes a difference especially when it comes from the heart. You don't realize how much someone has taught you until that person is no longer there to ask those important questions that only a daddy can answer. I know one thing that never needs answering, if you ask a question you already knew the answer but when ever we as kids asked questions you always knew the answer but made sure we looked for the answer so that we learned and never forgot. (Hmmm fractions... I'll never forget that lesson) I guess this is why I am handling this as well as I am. Daddy you always made sure we were protected and never had anything to worry about. Even to the very end... you fought and until God told you... you didnt need to fight anymore.. I thank God everyday for giving me every minute extra we had and there is no way to prepare for this. The last lesson you taught me and its probably the most important lesson you ever taught me and I will use that to give me the strength I need to get thru those weak times. I will forever keep with me that talk we had before God called upon you and even though you didn't say a word I could see it in your eyes.. daddy you always said it best when you said nothing at all.. I miss you daddy and wish I could hear your voice again.. but as always I know you are right here with me everyday in my heart and looking out for me and protecting me as you have done all my life. I love you Daddy (but you know that)... so no more tears.. just smiles cause that's how you'd want it.. thank you for.... well just thank you... I'll see you in my dreams.... xoxo

Dad, its been over a year now since you left us. I can't stop the flow of tears your passing caused. I miss you so very much. There was so many things I wanted to say to you...Most of all is that I love you and what I wouldn't give for one more day. Another day of fishing with you, or just being by your side, just to sit and talk to you. The lessons you taught me, unfortunately I was hard headed but you had a way of getting your point across have benefited me and have directed me in the right path...I love you and I miss you. Anyone can be a father, but it takes a real man to be a Dad...
Thank you for being my Daddy...
Love you and miss you every moment of every day...Alan
