    Dear Betty, our prayer for you is that through all of this you are able to find peace in Him that tells us that to be absent our earthly body is to be present with our Savior that redeemed us. Eamonn, while 12 years my junior, was my spiritual father. I know that you don’t have to be told, but I will anyway, in our far to short relationship I know that he was a great and generous man. We have lost one of the best! In Christian Love, Bill and Onari

    We are shocked and sadden to hear of Eamonn’s death. He has been a thoughtful and kind long distance friend since he and Moira met at a summer camp back in high school. Over the years we got together in Philadelphia, Boston, Rochester, Toms River and Chicago. Just last week he reached out to say he was sending his Christmas card and birthday cards for each of us which arrived today. It was bittersweet reading how he was looking forward to celebrating his 5th anniversary with Betty and how proud he was of all his children. Your husband and father and our friend will be missed. Please know that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers.
    Love,
    Fran and Moira Olscamp

    So many wonderful memories when the Vize family lived in McPherson. Shannon was around fifteen months old, I think Sean started kindergarten. Our families went to the same church and enjoyed a lot of the same friends. Eamon and Joe worked Sanofi/Abbott. We are thankful to have those times to reflect on. Eamonn was always so kind and thoughtful. May God bless each of you during this time of loss.
    Betty I’m sharing my favorite Bible versus during a time of loss. Philippians 1:3 “I thank my God every time I remember you.� So thankful for the years you shared with Eamonn. Wonderful man to be remembered.
    Deanie & Joe Lokay
