I don't know your son Carolyn but from what (everyone) says and the lovely write up in the paper he had to be right by St. Peters side at the gate for sure.
God Bless you and always recall the best of times the way he sounds like he would want you to.
You are a wonderful mother for sure.

I feel there is nothing in this life that is worst than losing a child, weather they be 1 hour old or 60 years old.
You have my very deepest condolences. Heaven has gained another angel, and when you look to the sky and see that first star think of him and all the love you shared. Try to take comfort that he is in a wonderful place and he will always be with you and watching over you.

It's so hard to think of you not here, but I know your up there looking down on all of us. I just wish I could go back to all the times we did absolutely nothing and I still had so much fun, I'll never forget you John, you really did make an impact on people.

Dearest Carrie,
I still can't believe it's true. That beautiful, kind, loving, respectful young man can't be gone. Remember when we worked together and he was giving you such a run for your money?! You were strong and loving and had the support of your wonderful family and look how great he turned out! He was loved by many and will be missed by all of us who knew him. He's up there with your Dad. Two guardian angels are watching over you now. I hope in time memories will comfort you, but for know you must walk through this storm. We are all here to help you Carrie, please let us show you our love, caring and support.
With deepest sympathy
your friend

R.I.P. John M. Delehanty.....I unbelieveable that I am ending up with you so too short time. I remember you at Hadley Skate Park that you made me laughed and funny with other skateboarders. People making think I am too crazy to everyone. It doesn't mean make you crazy. So we laughed at everyone driving me crazy.
I miss you very too short time during in summer 2008 and I am at MCC night classes in Bedford, MA. And I didn't know you were in MCC.
So I'll let you go REST IN PEACE...

Dear Ms. Delehanty - I am so very sorry for your profound loss. As a fellow mother I can only imagine the pain you must be feeling. It appears that you have done an admirable job raising your beloved son; congratulations. It is not an easy job but you succeeded. Please know that there is a special relationship God has with the mothers he has chosen on Earth. You are and Always will be a Mother. God is taking care of your son and he will take care of you. It will take time and the pain will last for some time. But God has plans for you, and he has plans for your son, the son he shares with you. God Bless you. Try and be Strong. I will be thinking of you and praying for you.

i only knew johnny for a short amount of time but whenever i saw him he always had the biggest smile on his face - no matter what. he was an amazing boy and i don't want to believe this is really happening. it must be true what they say.. only the good die young - but i didn't know the best did too :( anyone who knew johnny clearly knew how much of a great person he was and how hard it is going to be living life without him. but i know johnny would want us to try our hardest to get through this and be happy. he always saw the bright side of things. he truly was a genuine person. REST IN PIECE JOHNNY D <3 WE LOVE YOU

Carrie,
My heart goes out to you and your family. The article in the Lowell Sun is a great tribute to John and to you. You raised a son who not only loved life, his family and friends but also had a kind and giving heart. You are a phenomenal person and mother. I know that Father Tom is taking good care of him. John's quote says it all, "You can't be afraid to live." His words will follow me forever.
Love and God Bless,

Carolyn - I am so sad to hear you've lost your son-your friend. from the moment I met you I knew he was the center of your world. he grew into quite a little man - even during the years I saw him grow. you did a great job raising him carolyn and from the entries found here, everyone agrees - John Michael was great, loving, fun, respected and surrounded by friends. For this you should be proud.
i am so sorry for your loss and am sure no words can fill the space. I am sending you warm thoughts, support and prayers to help you over the next several days and beyond.

your voice was like music to anyones ears, your smile as bright as the sun, your hugs were always so tight an welcoming, and your laugh was contagious, Although it is so hard to see such a fun-loving guy leave us, we know you are in a good place watching over us.

I can't even imagine what you are going through right now. John Michael made a big impression on his little cousin Justin when they were younger. Bill, Justin and I will be there Thursday even if it's just to hug you. Our love, prayers and thoughts are with you, your Mom Donna and all the rest of John Michael's familiy. Just imagine what good care "Big Nana" is going to take care of him in heaven!
Much love, "Uncle" Bill, Pat & Justin

Dear Carolyn,
Being there with you the day we found out about your beloved son John will always stay with me. I had the pleasure of meeting your sweet, intelligent, kind hearted son and watched his eyes light up when he would walk in the store and see his mother. You did an incredible job raising John and he was so blessed to have you.
I love you so much and feel as blessed having you in my life as I know John did.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family every minute of every day.
With all our love and support,
Charlene, Kelley, Heidi and the entire team at Lane Bryant.

Carolyn, I am so sorry John was taken from you so soon. John was an amazing person, everyone knows that, but I'm not sure they know it's because he had a great woman behind him. Everyone marveled at how a single mother could do such an amazing job raising a son who was so respectful and kindhearted. The story you tell of waking him with silly string friday morning so he wouldn't be late for class defines exactly how your relationship with him was. He got his fun loving nature and zest for life from you. You should be so proud of him and yourself. I love you and you know I am here for you - for anything!
