They were such a blessing to all that knew them, including me, Greg, and our sons. What an amazing team they made! Love all the Tuohys so very much!❤️

Cindy, they were a great team, indeed. And they loved you and Greg and the boys very much. I wish I could have tagged along on the Ireland trip you took together. What a fun group that was.

Your father's authenticity and accordion drew me back into the church after a long hiatus. I adored both of your parents.

Amazing, Beth. And thanks to Lizzie—”my little philosopher,” as Mom called her—we all became great friends. Hope to see you and James soon. Miss y’all!

😭😭😭 i personally never got enough of Father Tuohy’s accordion and Elma’s jigs. Those legs! This is so beautiful and you took me right there. It makes me so happy that you are writing and these words are balm to my weary soul. Don’t ever stop.

Your words, so threaded with love, bring me to tears. What a dear legacy you have been given and now live so beautifully, so authentically simply be being you. Thank you, Fergus...

This reminds me of parts of my life as an Air Force chaplain’s daughter. It’s a beautiful tribute to both of your parents; I hope they’re reading it from Heaven
