My Darling, brother Tommy.  I just want to say how much I Love You.  I will miss our little chats about Dromore and our happy days there.  I always remember our laughs in Finglas with Joey and yourself.  I know you are looking down from heaven on your lovely family and all of us. John thought the World of you and enjoyed his time with you when you both went to Plymouth.

Dave Jen and family
My deepest sympathy goes out to all of your friends and family. Although I met Mr. Mahon briefy this summer, I could see in his eyes, and hearing about him from Dave, that he truly loved his family and enjoyed his visits at Dave and Jens home in south Plymouth on the pond. Cherrish the memories that we all have of our parents, for they are a part of us to hold on to now, and share with others later. God Bless us all!
