Not sure what to say?

I think of him so often especially at Mass. His were always so beautiful and meaningful. I will always carry him in my heart and I'll never forget all the times he visited my sister Barbara while she was in the hospital fighting pancreatic cancer.

So often I've wanted to share something with Neil especially the loss of our third daughter Kim. He knew them all. His laugh always reached any one within earshot and we couldn't help but smile. My angels are lucky to have you with them. My heart hurts but one day I'll join you too. Heartfelt prayers to our family.

We had lost touch with Fr. Neil over recent years, but 27 years ago today he married us. I had met him soon out of college at St. Anns in Somerville, where I was motivated by him to be an active participant. He remained a friend for many years. Such a special and spiritual man who had a gift of reaching all, but especially young people. We know he rests in peace with the angels. Thank you for being a part of our lives.

Our hearts broke when we learned of Neil's passing. We were out of the country and found out when we returned. We shared so much with him and he with us. It still saddens us to think we won't see himagain. Sending loving prayers to his family.

It will be two years tomorrow that you left us Neil and left a hole in all our hearts. There will never be another you but I'm so grateful Jill, Barbara, Bobby and Debbie are together with God but we miss all of you so much.

We are in shock at learning of the loss of our dear and loved friend Neil. We were out of the country for several months and tried calling him. Sadly we heard the news from Regina Cleri. We first met Fr Neil when we lived in Natick and he became a very important person in our lives. He was always there at important events such as our 50th wedding anniversary where he renewed our vows. He gave us support and strength when we lost our youngest daughter Jill who also loved him dearly. We last...

Such a warm wonderful man. I knew him at St. Patrick Parish and in recent years at the Paulist Center. My condolences to all his family and friends.

We have so many fond memories of Father Neil. He was the kindest person with a huge heart. He had the biggest smile and the best laugh. His presence lit up any room. As a friend and priest he will be greatly missed and loved. Our sincere condolences to his family. Love, The families of Sandra, Christine and Lisa Guelpa and Paula and Patrick Thistle

Father Neil was a wonderful caring and kind priest at St. Pius V parish along with Fr. Joe Rossi. We were so blessed to have them both. I am so happy that he and Fr. Joe married my daughter on Sept. 5, 2005. I didn't know that was his birthday. He will be greatly missed. Rest in peace Fr. Mullaney.
