I remember Philip coming to dinner when I was growing up. He was a kind man who always liked my mom’s cooking. A few years ago he assisted in my dad’s funeral. He and my dad were first cousins.He gave words of remembrance which caused him to be overcome with emotion. I spoke to him afterwards thanking him for honoring my dad.He was a loyal friend and he’s now reunited with his best friend.

I met Father Kiley when I was a student at Boston College. I enjoyed attending his Masses, hearing his homilies, and sharing meals. Father Kiley was smart, kind, and a great conversationalist. I am grateful for our friendship and I feel blessed that I was able to get to know him and the other Jesuits at BC who have had a lasting impact on my faith journey.
