Dear Kelly, I am so sorry to hear of your loss and wanted to send you and your family my condolences. It has been many years since I saw you last, but when Fr Mark mentioned Lawrence Canavan during Mass at St Mary's yesterday, I immediately thought of you. May our Blessed Mother enfold you in her mantel, may our Blessed Lord grant you his peace, may your beautiful faith in the Resurrection be your consolation, and "may the angels lead [your Dad] to paradise" and his eternal reward. Love and prayers, Lisa Murphy

Kathy, adult children, grand children, friends & fellow Hollistonians. Larry was a terrific guy as you all know! A fun story about Larry. We had a group of guys who played basketball in Holliston. We were all over the hill but we formed \"The Over The Hill Club\". I lieu of psychiatrist we would try to emulate the CELTICS but it didn\'t work! We were Dad\'s working hard(as were the Mom\'s) & we were pushing for the girls Title 9 and coaching the boy\'s -- much to their detriment! One night Larry threw me an elbow in the eye (I deserved it) and for weeks that black eye & swollen cheek opened so many doors for me (I was in sales) it probably paid for my kids education! LARRY J CANAVAN we will see you! Do me a favor - play on my team! Love to Kathy and all the family. Jim& Arlene

Dear Kathy, Michael, Kevin, Kelly, Katy & Kerri - I am so very sorry. My heart is full of the best childhood memories I have because of your wonderful family. What a beautiful gift I was given to be a part of your lives. You kids had the best Dad ever! But somehow I think you already know that. Kathy, I wish I could hug you. My love and deepest sympathy to you all, Holly
