Karen Michelle and Tyler: sending love and prayers during this difficult time. Auntie Carol crafting skills will never be Forgotten. I still have the cross stitch pillowcases that she made me that I always thought were too pretty to use. Holidays were good times. There never was a dull moment. Summers spent at Cape Cod playing zim zam. You will be missed. Rest in peace Auntie Carol P.S. Auntie Carol can you please ask Great Grammy Mahoney to send signs to help me out on ancestry

Mom, Thank you for being my #2 growing up. How many Space Invader games and Astroid games. Always at awe at your many talents. You will surely be missed. My love goes out to Karen, Michelle and Tyler. Thank you for being in my life. God bless. Give dad a hug for me.

Thinking of you, Karen, Michelle, and Tyler. I am hoping you take comfort knowing Auntie Carol is with Uncle Butch and all her loved ones. I often think of your parents/grandparents on New Year’s Day. Growing-up, our parents got together and played cards on New Year's Eve. They always seemed to be in the best of spirits, laughing, and enjoying the moment. Sending prayers and happy memories to you all.

To cousins, Karen, Michelle, & Tyler, sending healing prayers and comfort during this tough time. Auntie Carol was the last of the Mahoney elders, she was smart, sassy, and creative. Growing up, my mother (Auntie Blanche) always praised her abilities. One of my fondest Christmas memories, Auntie Carol, overcooked the turkey! Butchie & Blanchie were beside themselves but not Auntie Carol, she pulled off a Christmas miracle, take-out PIZZA! Best Christmas dinner to date. She will be missed but never forgotten. Wishing you the best Auntie Carol, be well on the spirit side of life.
