Condolences
My dear Gail and family, My thoughts are with you all at this sad time. I'm blessed to have had the occasion to meet your parents and the rest of the family. Bethel House surely has a special place in your hearts. He was no-doubt a much loved husband, father and all those roles he enjoyed and has left his legacy to live on with all of you. Shared deaths brought us together five years ago but it has been truly enriching to have you in my life. Love to the extended Connelly families, Paulette
