I would like to send my condolences to David & Sue Mulvehill and their family, Dan Mulvehill and his family, Chris Gates and her family and to my loving wife Cathy for the passing of their father, Jim Mulvehill. I know that Jim and Helen are together again and may they both rest in peace. Both of them will be missed because between the two of them they kept you on your toes all the time. I've known this family for 30 years and you could not meet a better loving family. I told Jim and Helen when I married their baby girl six years ago not to worry because I would take good care of her. They both gave me their blessing and said she is yours with our love and trust. To whom ever reads this, that don't know, I am Cathy's husband, Frank aka, "Him" as Nana and Papa called me. Jim and Helen were great people.

Love,

Your son-in-law

Frank Tobius aka "Him"

P.S. Sparky and Annie will miss them dearly also.

Dear Mulvehill Family,

The time I spend in your home are some of my very favorite memories. With the Dean Martin Show, Rollor Derby, and Boo the Boxer, just to mention a couple of things, there was never a dull moment. You always made me feel like a part of the family. I feel blessed for you being in my life. I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. and Mrs. Mulvehill you will dearly missed.

Comfort can be shared by the great memories and in a knowing that as we pass through this life those we meet along the way truly impact our lives. Although the years have passed so quickly I share “great memories” of the Mulvehill family in Foothill Farms including one special Christmas with my family and a few penny poker games. The Laughter was always contagious! All our Love and Aloha.

Dad,

I am so happy you are finally at peace with Mom again. We all miss you both so much and love more than words can express. I'm so glad we had that special time together, 3 days before you passed to let each other know how much we loved each other. I will try and sleep now knowing you are safe in God's arms and with Mom once again. Until we meet again. All my love,

Your Baby Daughter..Cathy Tobius

Dad,

Now you know how much I love you. Everything I did was for you because I love you. I think you were proud of me and all us kids. We wish we could have done more to make you happier. I'll never forget the times we had at Notre Dame. Every day I will say a prayer for you to rest in peace with mom. Thanks for being a good dad. Love, David.
