Father Storey, We are sorry for the loss of your mother. Your homilies on many Saturday evenings touched on what we will all face at some point. It helped us feel more comfortable with end of life. I am certain your mother was prepared and unafraid. We enjoyed your mother and family attending many of your masses and you proudly bringing their presence to our attention. We felt like they belonged to us, just like we feel like you belong to us. We pray for you daily and will continue to do so. Renee & Bill

Mike, Fr. Richard, and the rest of you boys…. As one of the SIX Fagan brothers who migrated to Cure’ from Visitation years ago and had the pleasure of attending many funeral Masses said by Fr. Storey, I send my condolences to you all. There’s many reasons your Mom had already earned her wings when she arrived in Heaven, and they can’t be talked about without a whole lotta laughs. I know she’s very happy today. God Bless(ed) her.

Fr. Storey and family, Isn't it amazing that God chose the day of Christ's resurrection to call your precious Mom home? We always enjoyed seeing her at 4pm Mass and I often thought how wonderful it was for her to see her son serving the Lord on the altar. She will get back at you, however, for often sharing her age with the congregation on her birthday. ;) May the peace of Christ fill your hearts as grieve your loss and give thanks for her faithful entry into heaven.

Dear Father Storey, we extend our heartfelt condolences to you, Tim, and all of your family on the loss of your sweet mom. We used to love seeing your mom and dad sitting at the front of church when you were at Holy Spirit as you said Mass on Saturdays. Such a blessing that she had you with her in her final weeks, praying with her and saying daily Mass for her. Then to die on Easter Sunday - such a special gift to her and all of you. Keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. Bobbie and John Turek and family
