Dear Brent and Kathy - So sorry to hear of your father's passing. Brent and I talk often about him and I was sad to hear of him waning. He always had a zest for life and was always quick with a story, a joke or just pulling your leg.I'm sure he'll be missed by all the Flynns, and this McGuire. My prayers and best wishes are with you all. I'm sure, true to his heritage, he got through the pearly gates just before the devil heard of his passing. Cheers Mike

Dear Flora, Brent, Kathy, Ian, James, Alexander and all the Family, So very sorry to hear of Uncle John's passing. We have such great memories of Milton and all the fun we had there when we were growing up. Uncle John was always a lot of fun and our visits were full of hikes in the woods, going down to the creek and just playing. Best memory I have is spear fishing with Dad, Uncle John and Uncle Joe! Of course, Kathy and Brent, you were really little. You were so cute and we loved playing with you. We will hold on to all those memories -- Uncle John's stories and his fine Irish wit. We're all proud to be Flynns. And Flora, Mom and I had the best visit with you and Uncle John when Mom was living with us. Great food, stories and Irish songs! Mom talked about it long after the visit. We will see you on Friday. With Love, Mary Flynn, Paul Harber, Amy and Kate

Dear Flora, Brent, Kathy, Ian and all the Family, Jeff and I are saddened to hear of the passing of Uncle John. He was such an important presence in my life as we were growing up. Sunday visits to Milton were always the best and BBQ's at Kelso were such a big part of summer fun. I am sorry we can't be there for the funeral but we are sending our condolences and much love to all of you. Bet Flynn and Jeff Fear
