Dear Kathy, Cara and Patrick,
Growing up in Riverside, I’ve know Fred and all the Conatys almost all my life. I’ll miss seeing you, Kathy, and Fred at Farnsworth’s Café but your painting of Pomham light still hangs in my living room.
Fred will be in my and my husband’s thoughts and prayers.
Dear Patrick, Colleen & Family,
We are so sincerely sorry for your loss. When we lose someone very near and dear to us a piece of us goes with them. He will always be your guiding light, your guardian angel. God bless you to help you get through this most difficult time.
