Mr. Callaghan was a great man. He was an Irish Catholic as was his dear wife, whom he clearly adored. Together they gave life to eighteen children. Yes, eighteen. He was an accomplished organist. He had a deep and abiding faith. All of his music gave glory to God. He was a just man, a kind and gentle man, who still had a great inner strength and conviction. His children held him in the highest esteem and cared for him tenderly as he started to decline.
He will be greatly missed, not only by his beloved children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great great-grandchildren, but also by all who knew him.
He was a good and faithful servant of the Lord. May his generosity be returned to him many times over as he now receives his eternal reward.

Wow! 18! There have got to be multiple sets of multiples there! That is impressive - it's a good thing he was a good man, you'd need to be to raise that many.
Wow, he sounds like a great man indeed. May his Memory be Eternal.
What a beautiful post. I wish I had had the chance to know such a man and his family. God rest his dear soul.

Sounds like he lived a wonderful life. May he rest in peace.
May his memory be eternal!
