Friend you will be very missed
My thoughts and prayers are with all of your family during this difficult time. Rory loved his family deeply and would do anything for his children. He was a special person and a supportive friend. As a client and a friend, I will miss him.
To all of Rory’s family we offer our sympathy. May God bless you with strength and comfort at this very difficult time. Rory will be greatly missed. Keep the happy memories.
My dear sweet precious Rory, I’m so sorry I was not here to say Good-by. You were always such a dear friend to me.I could never and will never forget you. I will also remember the song we both loved so much by Anrea Bocelli called “My Prayer” I only wish now i would have accepted the cd when you offered it to me, It would have meant so much to me. Thank you again my friend for all you did for me. Nicki
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I didn’t know Rory very well, but I lost my son a few years ago and I know how difficult this can be. I’m so sorry, all of you are in my prayers.
God Bless
