Leo will always be remembered as one of our family's dearest and most loyal friends. He could always be counted on in good times and hard times, always there with his energy, his heart, and his smile (not to mention his incredible wit!!!). He was honest, caring, and oh my gosh, how he would make us laugh, especially when he and our mom Terry would banter back and forth (and of course he won most of those bantering matches!). To Rosemary and Danielle-he loved you both so much-know that our thoughts are with you. We love you and miss you Leo! Love~The Mahonys

A yellow rose bloomed in my yard the day you passed. I truly believe that was your sign to let me know that you had 'arrived' and was finally at peace. Love you and miss you,

Pepe, you gave our small family an actual sense of family when we moved down to Florida. I love it here and am grateful you brought us down here. You were the foundation for what will be a strong family in the future. Love you and miss you, Steve.

A yellow rose bloomed in my yard the day you passed. I had always heard that represented "remembrance, friendship and joy". I believe it was your way of letting me know that you'd arrived safely and was at peace. "Love you, and miss you, Dad!" Rosemary @-)-----
