Mr. Don was always a pleasure to talk to when dining at O’Houlihan’s. I will miss his walk and cheering tone of voice. God’s blessings upon the Hayes family in this time.

Dear Pat, Mike, Brian and Ann:

Lawryn and I will miss seeing your father at O’Houlihan’s. We always enjoyed chatting with both your mom and dad when we were in the restaurant.

We’ll be keeping you in our prayers.

Your father must have missed your mother dearly. Now they are together again.
