Dear Shirley and all of your family,
On behalf of your extended Fallon and Mayer
relatives in Scranton please accept our deepest sympathy at the passing of dear Robert.
I am the son of Pauline Mayer Fallon who went to the Lord two years ago this weekend at the age of 95. My Mom was a walking directory of our large extended McLaughlin/Mayer families and related stories of them all! I am sure that she is happy with me submitting this condolence and outreach to all of you.
Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers during this time of sorrow and loss. My Mom's father, my grandfather who died before I was born,
was also Robert Mayer as was his son, my Uncle Bob. They are all in heaven.
May the good Lord welcome with wide open arms your dear Robert as well. I am sure there is a grand reunion going on up above for all of the Mayer's, McLaughlin's and Fallon's!
All of your extended family in Scranton send our deepest sympathy, love and prayers.
Tommy Fallon
