Uncle Jerry's spirit lives on in his dear family. I'll never forget how surprised I was by the strength of his hug when we last met. I am so grateful we were able to see each other to share stories and hugs. Uncle Jerry loved fiercely and laughed with pure joy. May all of your fondest memories of his devotion to you give you strength and peace. Alex and I are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers. With love and condolences, Pamela & Alex

I can still remember Uncle Jerry dancing with me at my wedding reception in 1995. Wonderful memory. I never had to heart to tell him that he ripped the bottom of my dress when he stepped on it a few times. So funny! He was so kind and sweet. I always felt honored to be around him. I will miss him. I did not find out about the funeral date until too late. It would have been nice to see everyone.

Dear Ann, John, Mary and David, Our favorite childhood photo shows the three Mahoney boys, Jerry, Phil and Tom in their altar boy attire. How proud your grandparents must have been. And now we must say good bye to the oldest of the three. You, his children were blessed with a loving, caring father, and he, in turn, was blessed with grateful, loving children, who made the last years of his life so full. You planned and escorted him on so many trips and he was always eager to go. Now he is making his final journey, but he'll be waiting with open arms for you to join him someday. We are with you in spirit today. Love, Uncle Tom and Aunt Carol

We're thinking of you and sending our prayers. We hope the treasured memories of your father give you great peace and comfort now and from this day forward. Owing to our wonderful family reunion lunch date a little while back, our last memories of Uncle Jerry are of a man in good health with a jovial spirit enjoying traveling with his beautiful family that he was so proud of. We picture him now enthusiastically embracing his family and old friends while embarking on new heavenly adventures. With love and deepest sympathy to you all, Your cousins Barbara & Susan Mahoney
