Dear Susan, Stephanie, Maureen, Ryan, Ed, and Nolan,
My heart sincerely goes out to each of you. You have lost an amazing husband, father, brother, father-in-love, brother-in-love, and PopPop. John was my godfather and for some ridiculous reason I was terrified of him when I was a little girl. Eventually, I got over it and looked forward to his Christmas Eve visits. Time and distance have taken their toll, and communication between us is now infrequent and brief. But love and memories last forever, and the Brady family sure knew how to make memories! John was loved and will be missed. Somewhere I have a picture of he and I together on one of those Christmas Eve and it is so 70s. He is dressed in a purple shirt and a brown fringed suede jacket with full sideburns and mustache. If I can put my hands on it, I will share it.
I can’t be there in person on Thursday, but I will be there in spirit.
Kathleen Brady
