Uncle Frank, Auntie Lori & Patrick,
Not a day goes by that I don't think about you guys & pray for you. Words aren't adequate to say how deeply sorry I am for the loss of your wonderful son & brother. Only God knows the depths of pain & hurt you are feeling, & I pray you feel His loving embrace during this time and every day. May you find some kind of comfort from His promise in the Psalms...
"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." ~ Psalm 34:18
I miss Justin so much & will keep him in my heart forever! Will keep you guys always in my thoughts & prayers. Love you so much!
Love,
Christine (& Patrick)

To The Mahoney Family,
Words cannot express or ease the pain you must be feeling. Please know that your two precious boys are with you now and always will be. We never truly lose those we love for they are always in our hearts. I pray that God will hold your hand through this horrific time and give you some peace.

Dearest Lori, Frank and Patrick,
There are No Words that can be said that can address the depth of the pain and grief that you are experiencing right now.
Our hearts were broken and shattered (again)on May 7th when we came to the knowledge that Justin had died and left this earth. It is completely unbelievable!
My words are completely inadequate but I will share some of God's Word to us. " The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit". (Psalm 34:18).
"To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord". (II Cor 5:8)
The Word of the Lord.
I love you.
I will be here for you, now and always.
I will continually; daily lift each of you up in prayer.
I love you
(with an eternal love).
Jean
I share this also on behalf of and from the hearts of the rest of my family; Gene, John, Andrew, Christine and Patrick who love you and whose hearts are broken as well and are praying daily for you and will continue to do so.

May 17, 2011

Words cannot express the heartfelt compassion we feel for your family. Love, hope and prayers for peace are sent your way, every day.

To the Mahoney Family, There is little one can say at a time like this. But I'd like you to know that the Thursday nights at the PC where I first met Justin and his uncle will be cherished forever. I watched Justin change each week into the person he wanted to be. His anger was replaced with compassion and his love for his family was fierce. He told me once that all the little changes he made everyday made him feel good because he knew they were the right ones. He often made me laugh at is quirky outlook on things. They say God only takes the good ones, and now I know that's true. Know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. A friend and parent, Susan

Dear Mahoney Family (Lori, Frank and Patrick),

On behalf of the study abroad group from Konstanz, I am sending many thoughts and prayers to you from people all over the world, and I am deeply sorry for your loss. Your son was a part of our study abroad family and always spoke with such love and affinity for his family at home. Justin was a wonderful guy, always making everyone laugh, but I have to say that I appreciated it when Justin wasn't trying to impress anyone and just let his friends in to share all the love he had (which was there in abundance). Justin made every effort to check on me while I was going through chemotherapy, and I will never forget the impact he made on me. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time.

Mrs. Mahoney I am not going to tell you it gets better, but try to remember all the happy memories. Time will pass, but he will be your first thought in the morning, and the last thought at night. They say that God will not give us any more than we can handle. God Bless! Maryanne Greco Turner

To the Mahoney Family,
Although we were never able to meet your wonderful family, we heard so much of you all.. Justin, although only with us here at Newport ER for a short time really was quite the light of our department.. The impressions, the jokes..the protections and support he gave all of us.. we truly were able to see the "real Justin".. Feel so blessed to have had this short time with him.. and we are so very sorry that this loss is yours and so awful and unfair..
With love and prayers
