Thoughts, prayers and condolences to the Graveline family on the loss of their father Alfred. I had the opportunity to administer the last rights to him during my visit to Springfield and needless to say he was happy to see his friend of 75 years from St. Aloysius School in Indian Orchard. We had good memories during our recent get together(s) and shared our 'stories' of the good old days and here he fondly spoke highly of his love of family, church and faith. May he rest in peace.
My deepest condolences and prayers to the whole family.
