Dear Kate and all the Mooneys,

It was a true loss when your Dad was called home. He was a wonderful guy. For years Ed and Paul and my Dad and I attended the BC High Thanksgiving Day game, Ed and my Dad laughing as your Dad and I cheered passionately. He's a big loss to that community among so many others.
Susan's and my thoughts and parayers are with you.

Sincerely,

Pat

Mr. Mooney,
Sir, I didn't know you but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the USMC during WW II. It was the history and accomplishments made by you and your fellow Marines in WW II that all of us Marines who followed in your footsteps have always tried to live up to. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Semper Fi Devil Dog!

To Pegeen, Kate, Paula, and Eileen; your families; and all the cherished friends of your Beloved Dad, Paul;

We are so saddened to hear of Paul's passing. He was so loved, and his presence among you will be so sorely missed. But he will always be with you, and part of you.

We will miss him, and all the funny stories of the practical jokes he and Rick forever played on one another. Thank goodness for the countless wonderful memories you have to treasure always.

We feel so blessed to have known both your parents, they were such good, kind, and loving people. Now we all can take comfort in knowing they are together again.

You four daughters, are such a tribute to the legacy of Muggy and Papa, as are their granddaughters. They will forever be proud of you and all the goodness you will continue to do in their name. God bless you all, and God bless Muggy and Papa.

Love, Audrey, Mark, Jennifer and Julia Byrnett

Paula, I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your father. My heartfelt sympathies go out to you and your family. I am still reeling from the sudden loss of my mother and can empathize with the pain you are feeling. Your kindness to my sister and I was deeply appreciated.I won't be able to attend the service as I will only be home for a day, but I will be in touch. You are in my prayers. Your father was a wonderful man and I have many fond memories of times spent at your house.
