My dear Cousins, we are all so sad to hear of Uncle Jim's passing. I will never forget the ride he and Teri took out to meet me when I was out in Cedar Rapids a few years ago- I know he was thinking it was the last time he'd see any of Dorothy's family. Thank you, Teri, for bringing him out to see me. Our prayers are with all of you at this time. Kathleen writing also for Brian, Dee, Kathryn and our Dad, Cliff Lillie

Mary Nelles published a tribute .

Dear Dooley Family Members, I am Brendan Cain's sister-in-law, and I was good friends with your Dad's sister Babe. She spoke of him often in our phone conversations. She loved him very much and cared about her brother. I think she often brought him the Holy Eucharist, too. I offer my sincere sympathy to you all. It is hard to lose one's father, no matter how old the father or the children. May the Lord give you all comfort and peace. Mary Ann Nelles

Sorry to hear about your Dad. It's hard when the last one goes. I spent last week in Tennessee where my sister's husband died on 4-18-09. Glad I went, she needed the support. I didn't like the guy , but I didn't say one bad thing about him in front of her. I need a pat on the back! God will reward you for all your sacrifices in the care of your folks. Sincerely, Maryetta
