145 personal thank you notes, each one is special to me.
Just imagine how thankful your gift receivers will be! [Bill Sullivan]
Hi Bill, I just wanted to thank you again for the beautifully framed blessing. The pictures on the website don’t do the real thing justice. I gave the blessing to my Aunt and uncle on Friday and they were very touched by it.
They have a house here in Ireland along with their home house in Coventry, UK and they have framed the greetings card to hang in their house here and are bringing the framed blessing home with them.
It is still early days for them as my cousin is not even 1 month gone yet.
All I can do now is pray for them each day that their pain will get less and less.
Kind regards, Pauline O’Brien 9/8/08 IRELAND

Dear Bill, We’ve just returned from the family’s celebration weekend to mark the wedding anniversary of my mother, father, aunt and uncle who were were married in a joint ceremony 50 years ago. We presented the beautiful plaques to them at the luncheon and they were HUGE hits. The road has not been easy for any of them so the message was particularly resonant for them.
Thank you very much again for your care, kindness and attention—you made a very real difference to our family and we thank you very sincerely.I look forward to working with you again soon. In the meanwhile, we send you wishes for a road that rises to meet you and a wind always at your back. J Warmest regards, Sheila 8/18/08

Bill, Thank you so much for the speedy delivery of our gift to our granddaughter. I am so thankful that I listened to you to use the silver frame. This is the one my husband wanted and I had thought about the green marble. The whole framed marriage blessing is outstanding and we are so glad we talked to you about what we wanted. You did a wonderful job and we will definitely tell others about you. Take care and have a wonderful Holiday Season coming up.

Bill, I recently purchased the Irish Wedding Blessing-Castle far view for a wedding gift. I am looking for a second picture that would complement this picture but it is difficult to determine the colors from the internet. Do you have any suggestions. The second print will not be personalized! Thank you for your time. Bev Muntean (My soon to be wed Irish friends are going to love the wedding blessing. It's beautiful!) 10/22/07

Hi Bill,
I am not one to order on the internet, however I came across your web site and immediately thought of friends that came to visit in North Carolina. I had not seen the gentleman in years and I had never met his wife.I recently lost my Mom & Dad within a year of each other and was feeling very depressed, I agreed for them to visit,
which to my surprise was just what I needed.We bonded instantly, so I wanted a gift that would show them how they lifted my spirits. I choose # 153 and it arrived today, another surprised!How beautiful and professional the framing and Blessing turned out.I will definitely be ordering more in the future.The free shipping and the gift card are an absolute PLUS. Thanks And God Bless

All Customer feedback is below the email:
[NEW] the most amazing email conversation I have ever had.
*****Hi there,
I just found your website today and your items are beautiful. I was searching through the bereavement plaques for a particular poem and didn't find it. How often do you add new poems to your site? My Dad passed away on 1/31/07. He would have been 76 years old today. While cleaning out his desk drawers, my Mom found a poem he had kept that gave all of us comfort. I was hoping to have that that poem printed/framed and given to my Mom. I want to do it with the Irish theme since we're O'Rourke's (and Mom's maiden name is O'Donnell). My Dad was extremely proud of our Irish heritage, as is the rest of our family.
If you can assist me with this, that would be wonderful. If not, any assistance in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
God bless, Janeece Proud daughter of Harry Edward "Rocky" O'Rourke 6/16/31-1/31/07
Hi Janeece,
It would be an honor to do this for your family. Just email me the poem and pick one of my background photo's or flower - shamrock designs. Look through my entire line www.IrishB.com
I checked out the website you have on the bottom of the page. I would like to set up a link to it from one of my pages.
Blessings, Bill Sullivan
Hi Bill,
Thank you so much for your quick response. After I emailed you, I went back to your page and read some more and found out a little about you. A couple of strange things have been happening the last day or two that make me thing my Dad is leading me...and when I found your page and then read that you have MS, I just knew that THIS was the gift my Mom needed and YOU were only person I wanted to purchase it from. I was diagnosed with MS on May 1, 2001 and my parents have always worried about me because of it. Maybe I'm a little nuts, but I believe my Dad is helping me right now.
Anyhow, here is the poem. This is the complete version of it. Below that is the condensed version, which is the one my Mom found in my Dad's desk. I'm at a bit of a loss here. I think the full version is beautiful, and it says words that might give my Mom more comfort...but the condensed version is the one she found, so she might only want that. HELP! What would you suggest?
I am going to look at backgrounds/frames right now.
Thank you so much. I can guarantee you that my Dad is smiling down on you right now.
Janeece
Wow!!!
I did a double take when I read that you have MS. I am sure that your Dad is somehow involved. I will look over both versions and get back to you in a few days if not sooner.
Blessings, Bill
Hi again,
I looked at the backgrounds in Bereavement and I like P374 (castle photo) and P675 (Cliffs of Mohr photo). What is #695 a picture of? Can the poem (either version) fit on these?
Thanks.Janeece
Hi Janeece,
Sit down........
Now I know why I take extra time to personally answer my email, even if it on my birthday. I just took a few minutes before bed to answer your question. I am amazed at the power of written words.
My birthday is June 16th, The same as your Dad's....... There is no doubt that there is a connection here. I am in the middle of finishing up my preparation for my sharing at church today. I will be reading the poem your Dad left you.
Thanks for making my birthday and Father's Day extra special!!!
I will get back to you soon.
Blessings, Bill Sullivan
Hi again,
I called my Mom and read her the full version (she has no clue what I'm planning to get her). I asked her which one she liked better and she said she likes them both but that she loves the one she found in the drawer because she thinks my Dad lead her to it. Therefore, that shortened version is the one I would like. Would it be appropriate to have the "In Loving Memory Of..." stuff above it? I'm giving it to her to hang in her house. What are your thoughts on that? I think she might like that stuff on there...but...I just don't know what is appropriate...this is all so new to me.
Well...I made it through his birthday...now tomorrow if I make it through Father's Day I'll be doing alright. Hope yours is a great one.
Take care,
Janeece
Hi Janeece,
It was an amazing day, I went through all the emails and read the poem. One of my friends lost her dad a little over a year ago and she happened to be sitting in the front row right in front of me. As I read the poem she started to cry. Her dad left her the last stanza of the poem for her. Everyone was amazed how God works things out to help us through the tough times. [Romans 8:28] And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
We are all connected in ways we will never understand this side of Heaven.
Thanks again, I will work on your poem tomorrow.
Continued Blessings,
Bill Sullivan
WOW.
I've been waiting for my sign from my Dad and this weekend he just flooded me with them. I guess he waited until he knew I was really going to need him to be there for me. Tears are running down my face right now. I miss him so much I can't even describe it. It's like someone took away the sunshine and I'd give everything to just have one more day of sun. But after this weekend...with things like him leading me to you, because I know that's how I found you...I feel the warmth of the sun again because I know he is near. Even though I can't hear his comforting voice or laugh at his great jokes anymore, I know he hears me and sees me and knows how much I love him, miss him and still need him in my life.
Thank you so much for sharing the poem with your congregation. I am sure my Dad was there with a big smile on his face listening to every word. I hope both you and my Dad had an amazing Father's Day.
God bless, Janeece

Blessings,

Hi Bill,
Sorry it took me a bit to get back to you but I had company from Texas in town for the weekend. In fact, it was the Mom of and a fellow Recon Marine to Chris Zimmerman, the fallen marine who's link is on the bottom of my outgoing emails. I told his mom (Faith) that you had wanted to add it to your page and she was thrilled about that. Chris was not only an amazing Marine, but he was a wonderful human being. Thanks so much for asking to add him. His family, his fellow Marines and I appreciate helping to keep his memory alive.
Speaking of...I love what I can see of the print. It looks beautiful!!! You did the shortened version, right? Just wanting to make sure since we went back and forth a few times (plus if you get the MS foggy mind like I do, being reminded is never a bad thing LOL). So now do I just choose the frame and make my payment or how does this work? Please advise.
Thanks and hope to hear back from you soon, Bill.

Oh man...you sure know how to make a girl cry. I happen to be wearing my USMC t-shirt and my "We Will Not Forget" bracelet that Chris' Mom gave to me in honor of Chris. I'm going to forward a link to your page to her. I'm sure she'll forward it to the whole dang Marine Corps! LOL That is so awesome, Bill! They gave the ultimate sacrifice and I want to make sure they're not forgotten and I'm so touched that you feel the same way and are doing your part to show you care.
With Independence Day right around the corner, what better time to honor those who sacrificed it all for freedom. God bless you and yours, God bless this beautiful country we live in, and may God bless everyone who protects Her.
Hi Janeece, My friend Scott [the husband of Laura Manamon, the woman who's Dad left her the exact poem as your Dad did] pointed out to me, your Dad's initials if you count Rocky spell something. HERO
Blessings,Bill
What a way to start the morning...goosebumps and tears. Wow. In all the years I've seen my Dad's name like that I have never noticed it. Please tell your friend THANK YOU. I will forever notice it now and will be sure to tell my family. He has always been our hero and there are countless stories of heroic things he has done over the years, including his years in the US Army and his tour in the Korean War.
This version is PERFECT! I absolutely love it and I know it will mean the world to my Mom. Alright, time for payment. I know we've discussed this a few times already but...ummmm, remember, I have MS....so what was I supposed to do again? LOL I think you said it's best to call you with the info (the safest way)...so I am going to check back in my emails for the phone number. Here is the address (in case I didn't already give it to you) to ship this to:
Also, how will this be shipped and how soon do you think she'll get it? Sorry, I know I have a ton of questions. Alright, off to look for your phone number. Again, thank you so much for all of your hard work. I am sure God has set aside a special place in Heaven for people like you...those who help others.
God bless,
Janeece

*****I received my order yesterday and I must comment. First of all, same day service for something that was personalized, along with free shipping is remarkable! Secondly, I am extremely pleased with the Irish Wedding Blessing Photo that I chose and I know that the recipients will be as impressed as I. Having their names and their wedding date on it makes it extra special! Thanks again. I'm sure I will be ordering in the future. Rhonda D.
*****Your the best bill, that's why I give you all my business. hope the family is well and guess what I'm moving i just bought my first home. i move on Sunday talk about a crazy weekend! Just thought i would share the news!
Take care, Kelley
*****Thank you so much for taking care of this quickly! I guess your customer service comments on the website are all correct! I'm sure my newborn niece will now be all smiles at her baptism! Thanks again!
*****Bill:
The Irish Blessing was received today. It is beautiful and it will certainly inspire me everyday that I come to the office. Thank you so much for your kind advice and promptness in sending it.
Sincerely, Tom C
*****Hi Bill, I wanted to write and tell you how happy I was to receive our framed blessing. If you remember, I needed it for my brother in law’s wedding. My husband (the best man) had this great idea to read an Irish blessing to the happy couple as part of his toast, and then present to them a framed copy of the blessing. I called the phone number from your website two days prior to the event (extreme last minute) and spoke directly to you. I needed this gift by the next day in order for my husband to present the gift at the reception. While we spoke, you were busy personalizing, framing and shipping my order. I received a phone call from the post office at 10:00 am the next morning stating that my package had arrived. When I opened it, I was more than satisfied with your work!! The blessing was beautiful and the frame equally so. My husband was able to read the blessing at the reception and present it to his brother and new sister! I can’t thank you enough for the efficient service you provided as well as for the exquisite works of art you sell. You helped make a special day even more special not only for the happy couple but for our entire family.
Thank you!!! Pam B.
*****and blessings to you..! thanks you made my day
*****HERE IS THE REACTION YOU WILL GETBobby,
Thank you so very much for your beautiful wedding gift! I got it this morning!
That was so thoughtful of you! I love it! You are the best! Thank you so much!
Have a great day, Erin
*****Blessings to you too. I'm so happy I found your website. Sometimes the internet is an amazing thing. I just goggled Irish Blessings because I wanted to find an appropriate one for their toast...and look what I found!
*****Ohhhh...that is beautiful...where does the Irish Blessing go...underneath? The Claddagh Cross has such symbolism for Jan and Eloise. Both are of Irish heritage and my son (Jan) has a tatoo of it on his chest with the word GRACE above it and Dona Nobis Pacen on the banner...much like your banner on the cross. He was a Marine in Iraq for two tours of duty. His Faith and Grace got him through. Dona Nobis Pacen is his hope for the future...the cross is his heritage and love.
I am so excited to give this to them. The Irish Blessing that is part of it is also part of my wedding toast to them. Thank you so much.
Kathy
*****Hello, I've always loved the Old Irish Blessing ... had a small metal plaque of it & small framed verse of it, in my last home. Found the small framed verse of it & really wanted a newer, nicer one. I couldn't have found a nicer one, than the one I ordered & received in perfect condition from you. The business size card, enclosed in plastic, made it even more special. The pansy is my favorite flower, so of course, that adds even more beauty to the whole package. My framed verse is on display, on a table in the entrance foyer of my home. Four years ago, I moved from MD to VA, to make a new home.
I've just placed another order, the Anniversary Prayer with personalization, for my son & daughter-in-law's first wedding anniversary. I'm sure it will be as nice, as the gift I ordered for myself & home.
Thanks for providing beautiful products & great customer service, including free shipping! Sincerely, Linda
*****Thank you Bill. I appreciate your efforts. Bob G.
*****Thanks Bill! Mike O.
*****hello to you dear friend. the wedding gift was a huge hit as a matter of fact they said it was their favorite gift (of course). thank you.Yes keep e mail coming. God bless. Pat Brown
*****Bill got the cards, and I love them!!! I love the postcards too, I had another thought....How much would it be for me to have you laminate the postcards? It might work out too expensive, but I was just thinking. I will definitely want you to do more cards for me, and maybe we can try different blessings with different backgrounds! Thank you again!! Níamh
*****Hi Mr. Sullivan, Well, what a surprise! Ummm...it was the pewter...is that different from silver? Just checking. I am very moved by your generosity...a very rare commodity these days, unfortunately. I thank you very much. And Happy Easter to you too. Joanne
*****Thanks for a great product and a speedy delivery! My order came today, and it's quality is much better than I ever expected--it's a housewarming gift for my niece and her family on St. Patrick's Day! I know they will love it! Thanks again for a great experience!

Oh, thank you! When I came across your site online, I knew I had to order the framed blessing for Sean and his new wife. The blessing had always been a favorite of my father's....always hung in our house as we were growing up. My dad was killed a few years ago in an accident. Sean was his oldest grandson and they were quite close. In fact, when Sean first got back from his first tour in Iraq (a horrendous one; his platoon was, as Fox News put it, "the spearhead of the attack on Fallujah." Anyway, my family had a big get-together at my mom's when Sean returned home for a visit. He politely accepted everyone's welcome and love, but was very uncomfortable. Crowds---even his family----made him nervous after the combat experience. After just a few minutes, he left to go visit his PaPa's grave. Oh, how it tore my heart! My tall son, who had lost so much weight and had grown so many years older in the past few months, standing straight and still for the longest time over my father's grave. It was a cold winter day and he just stood there, silent and still. Sigh. But he is so very much better now! I am grateful to have my son alive and well, grateful for his beautiful new wife who has helped restore peace to him, and grateful that he had seventeen years with his PaPa. AND, I am grateful that you have prepared this very special gift for us in such a speedy manner!
Whew! Don't know why I wrote all that...you needn't read it (well, if you're here I guess you already have!) or even reply. Again...many thanks.

Hi Bill: I just found your website, and I love it!! My grandmother has recently passed away and the funeral director read the Irish Blessing "May the road rise to meet you” I’ve been looking for things with that saying and thankfully came across your site. I also see that you have the one God saw you getting tired #374. I have a question on that one....is it possible to get it without the cross and with just the flowers? My grandmother was Greek orthodox and I'm not sure about the Irish cross. I can't ask my mother about it as this is going to be a gift for her. Please let me know. Thanks so much for your help. I will be ordering as soon as I figure out how many I need and exactly what sayings. Tammie Sypek

Hi Bill, I am so glad the card worked! I never had that happen before. I also enjoyed talking with you yesterday as well. Mostly I appreciate your comment of my husband serving his country. I guess the hardest part is when he is deployed. But the kids are grown now, and its easier...He has three more years for full pension and then its time to retire.
I enjoyed your website...I enjoy all the Irish websites!!!!!! I am really into my Irish heritage. The kids go crazy for I listen to all my Irish music...and they hated St pats day for I made them wear tams!! My oldest son who is 21 plays the bag pipes and still to this day makes me cry.
When we lived in PA we meet a guy named Willie Lynch...What an awesome band...and he does a yearly cruise...We went and had a blast with all the Irish bands...and its cheap. If you and your wife love to travel he has some pretty good deals going on...check out his website..willielynch.com...
I will continue to check out your website. sounds like you have some pretty good ideas...Good luck and Im sure we will chat again. Leeann
Bill, Thank you for the email. I enjoyed your web site and found many things that I am planning to buy when my house is complete with its building process. I was pleased I was able to find something different for a gift rather than the same old crystal or china. It was a hard decision for I was torn between the blessing and the wedding day....but I fell in love with the one I chose. I really appreciate you including a little note for me...I will definitely pass your web site to my crazy Irish family and friends whom live up to all the Irish traditions...lol.. Once again thank you for taking the time to email.. Sincerely, LeeAnn Kenyon
thank you so much for your help, although you helped me last time when i ordered the engagement blessing. Since i thought you are very personable, i returned as a happy customer. Hope all is well with your mother, i have been doing the same thing lately and it is hard. Thanks again Kelley Ann
Bill that birthday blessing is awesome! Thank you so much for finding it. Can you also put her name and b-day date for her 60th?Patricia Ann Catherine Kelley March 24, 2006 If you can lets do it! That would be wonderful! I think in the green or antique gold, which ever you think goes the best! Kelley
Good Morning, Bill! Guess what, both packages just arrived!!!!! Now, what do you want me to do? Over and above the confusion of mailing, I just want to say the plaque is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!Thank you so very much for your talent!!! And also for your concern that I would receive it on time...Talk to you soon! Jevon Yandow Landmark Land Company
Hi Bill - What a quick response. Yes - please! I didn't realize you could add the date. Thanks so much for asking. September 1st, 2006 Many, many thanks again! All the best -Carmel Reilly
Bill, Mrs. McGrath loved the plaque. Thanks Again Well Done*
Thanks Bill for handling so promptly.You have given us something to think about and we will.
Send plenty of business cards and we will pass to our friends.I believe it is important for a
father to bless his sons or pass his blessing on to his sons.We have three.2 in college one
in high school.When the two older boys graduated from HS, I took them out back for a long talk
about how proud I was of them, goals, girls, priesthood, education, high standards, ....
and then passed my blessing on to them.I believe that this is scriptural, very important in
today’s world and a very spiritual time with son.I have told the older two that if any thing
happens to me before Andrew, my youngest, graduates from HS it is their responsibility to pass a blessing on to him.Hopefully this will be something that they do with their sons.God is Good !! Now you see why I found you on the internet and why I asked you to change the word from wish to blessing.Now we, as family and friends will bestow an Irish blessing upon the engaged couple.To me this is more than just a nice little thing to kill time at an engagement party.This is spiritual and I believe that God's blessing will come upon them also.
The two will be married at the Cathedral in Biloxi "Nativity" during Mass. I have tried to explain
to them that the first reason we will be called together on the Night of December 29th is to
worship then marry.Jesus first and foremost the rest will follow.The only thing that I have
asked them to do at the Mass is serve communion- Matthew to Allyson's family, Allyson to Matthew's
family.What a testament to serve one another and others.
God Bless, John
Hi Bill - Just wanted to thank you for the great job you did on the print for Teresa and Ray! They absolutely loved it and I can't believe that they received it on Saturday morning! Thanks very much for making me look so good! I will be sure to revisit your website in the future! Again - Many thanks! All the best –Carmel
Hi Bill, Got the framed Irish blessings today! They are wonderful. Can't wait for them to receive them this Sat. Thank you. I'll let you know their response.... Thanks again!! Joelle Miner
Thank you, Bill for your nice message. I just want to tell you how impressed I am with your website. You have the nicest items to sale. Obviously, you are VERY Irish with a name like Sullivan. My friends are Garrett and McGowan - now both McGowan for the last 30 years. They are Irish through and through. I understand your stress at selling your home and building another one. I am a Notary Closing Agent - I close loans for out of town lenders. God Bless Ya! You are really in fast forward stress mode right now. Just keep telling yourself that everything will work out and how pleased you will be in your new home. Believe me - it will all be over before you know it. Too bad we're not closer, I could close your loan when you sell your house! There's no need to respond to this note. I just wanted to touch bases with you and thank you for taking the time to write and update me on my order. Speaking of "red tape", I'll bet you are right in the midst of a red tape blitz right now! Keep the faith and blessings to you also! Stephanie Clark

Again, thanks for the customer service. Cathy ********* Bill, The blessing looks terrific. I'm really happy about this. I'm doing some early Christmas shopping, this is for Mom-in-law, it's her favorite Irish quote. ********* Hi Bill, Thanks for the extremely quick shipment. I received the print today, love the print and the frame *********
Dear Bill, The picture that I ordered from your company arrived yesterday, and I have to tell you that it is even nicer than I had imagined after shopping on your website. It is absolutely beautiful. I bought it for my brother-in-law and sister-in-law who are rebuilding their home after a horrible flood last Sept. 17. My sister-in-law is Irish, and I thought that the blessing including "may you have walls...and a roof" was more than appropriate. We all take things for granted until they are taken away by forces beyond our control. I can't wait until the construction is finished so that I can give it to them as a housewarming present.
