"It is with "Deepest Sympathy" that we have lost a wonderful man from our All Saints Family. It was truly a pleasure to re-connect with John & Sophie from our Independent Living where my Parents first met the Healy's. We will all feel the loss & miss his presence, but fortunate that Sophie will still be a part of our close knit family at All Saints. In Loving Memory of John. Jane Delaney "
