Dear Family of Mrs. Mooney,

Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your dear mother. I fondly remember your mom from her days at Hingham Institute for Savings. She was always very helpful and pleasant. I wish you all peace and comfort during this difficult time in your lives.

Dear Charlie and family, you probably won't remember me but your parents, Pat & Kay, were very good friends of my parents, Peg & Festy Heanue. I was so sorry to see the death notice of Phyllis. I remember the day you were married and how beautiful Phyllis was. I can still remember her gown and how regal she looked. Many a night I spent visiting your mother with my mother at your house on North Monroe Terr. and vice versa. There were many nights I went to bed with the accordion going full blast and everyone singing/dancing or fighting. I just sent an email to my brother Frank, Anne Costello Lacey and Maureen Costello Corey. I'm sure these names will bring back some memories for you as well. Please know I'll be praying for all of you and that Phyllis is in peace.

Charlie and family, My heartfelt sadness goes out to each of you. It is always so difficult to articulate expressions of sympathy when someone we love has been taken from us. If you can accept that God has a plan you may find comfort in knowing that she is at peace and will always be there to guide each of you. At the end of the day our faith will carry us forward. May God bless you and keep you strong. You will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Aloha Mooney's
So sorry for your loss. Phyllis was a nice lady. She always got a kick out of my singular stupid stuff. Will say a prayer and get rope burns from my Rosary's.
