Walter and family,
Fond memories growing up with the “other” Mahon family in North Haven, when your family met up
With Ray and Mary at Madison family parties and as a little kid visiting your “big trailer” at Meigs Point campground at Hammonassett. Mary was always friendly, gracious and good sense of humor.
Mike and Family,
My condolences to you and your family in this time of sorrow. May God give you comfort during this difficult time.
