Jim,
What a wonderful strong women. Deirdre’s activism and compassion for others will live on thru you and the boys. My heart is breaking as I write this but I do believe that God has just welcomed a new angel. My sympathies to you and all those that knew and loved her.
God Bless You and the boys,
I will miss my friend more than words can say. I am so thankful for the time we had together, too short though it was.
Jim – I was very sorry to hear about the passing of your wife. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you, your sons and the rest of your family during these difficult times. Andy
Jim,Brian, and Christopher,
We are so sorry you have lost your beautiful Deirdre and Mom. God was ready to call Deirdre home..she’d fought long and hard and was wonderful, funny and so giving to all who knew her. ..may she and all of you be at peace in your hearts.
You’re a strong family and your love will always be with you–it is a treasure in all your hearts that cannot be taken. We loved her very much, as we do all of you.
May God take the best care of Deirdre, along with our Alan. They deserve nothing less.
Love, Ginny and Colin

Dear Chris,
My sincere sympathy to you, your dad, and your brother, in addition to your mom’s entire family. I was saddened to hear of her death last week. You will be in my thoughts and in my prayers. Your mom was an inspiration to many, as she fought through her illness. May her gift to you be the gifts of strength and love.
My best,
Mrs. DiGiandomenico
Dear Jim, It was with great sadness that I learned of your wife’s passing. I know what a brave fight she fought and you were far more than a loving husband and daddy; but also a valant soldier. marching along with her in her battle. Anyone who has ever known you, Jim, was touched by your great love and devotion to your wife and family. With deepest sympathy, Carol Urick
Jim & family … I just learned of Deirdre’s passing. I am so sorry. I extend my sympathy to your entire family. Deirdre had a very warm & special smile … that will be my memory, along with the way she always made me feel comfortable and welcomed. I am glad to have had the chance to have her part of my life.
