From ND Day -- Hamilton Cast's Performance!

Heaven Opened Its Gates To A Good One...

When you see this post -- I'll be at St. John Neumann Catholic Church in Canton, MI -- celebrating the relatively short life of Susan Doyle.  Susan is the 46 year-old wife of my "first cousin" Denny Doyle.

Susan left for Heaven Friday morning at 1:45 AM ET -- after a three-year battle with breast cancer.  Cancer sucks -- it took a great young woman's life -- way too soon.

Now, I will admit Susan was more of a fan of "those schools in Michigan" (not everyone's perfect) -- but, as you can see in the photo above, Denny represented the Fighting Irish at all times!

I ask our Notre Dame family if you could please say a prayer today for Susan and my cousin Denny -- he's going to miss his bride.  She was the kind of girl I hope my sons will marry someday.

Susan Doyle -- we will see you again...
