I have many loving memories of your family and of Miss Ann. Her kindness always showed through for the many years I have been around your family. Miss Ann was such a fighter, but she has gained her wings and will not suffer anymore. My prayers continue for the family and friends to find peace and understanding.

Patty,
Our prayers are with you for your comfort at this time. I know that you believe she is at a family reunion now, but it is difficult and painful to let go of the earthly connections. She will still be with you! I find myself talking to my mom frequently, and she is also in Heaven.
Thinking of you and your family at this time.

So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
My heartfelt prayers and deepest sympathy to the Mahoney Family in the passing of your sweet dear mother. I came to know her through her wonderful daughter Patty who hired me to work for her here at ACH. I counted it as a privilege and an honor as Patty is much like her mom whom I only got to meet and talk with over the phone and sing happy birthday each year. I also have many of her recipes especially the baked cheese grits that she served at her family gatherings for breakfast. I would like to say to Patty, one of the greatest boss' in the world, you are so blessed to have had your mom all these years and you have so much of her inside of you, fun, witty, loving and family oriented. She has left a legacy behind with all of her wonderful children and grandchildren, Josh, we miss you here at ACH. Your character was well defined that you came from a great family. Prayers will continue for the Mahoney family as we know in Christ, death is not the end, there will be a great resurrection day when we all will get to see Jesus face to face. I encourage you today to continue with your family gatherings like Mom would want you to do, be that glue that sticks close together. The road ahead will be rough without her, for mothers are so special and we only get one, but I know the Lord will sustain and keep each of you as you pray and stay before him for strength. There are no words to fill this great void that will be missing in your life, Time will heal and one day your tears will turn into joy as you embrace the sweet memories of your loving mother. So, I say to Mother Elizabeth Mahoney, sleep on my dear, take your rest, you were a great warrior, a fighter, you hung in there until the victory was won! God Bless You Family!
Patty Mahoney, I love you dearly and you all will continue to be in my prayers.
Solemnly Submitted,
