Hi Everyone,
I just learned that my granddaughter , Samantha, was just diagnosed with Leukemia (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) known as ALL. 80% of childhood leukemias are this All . All treatments will go over a two year period and I hope she can beat it. Please pray for her as the next several months will be very tough but she is a fighter and they have come so far in treating childhood leukemia. I will try to keep everyone posted on her progress. The Blog is a great idea to keep everyone informed . Love, Cousin Sharon Page

Pop Mooney Anniversary
Dear Family:
Just wanted to get the word out that Pop Mooney will be celebrating a Golden Anniversary next June 20th - his parting from this world to his Heavenly reward. I have reserved a Memorial Mass for himself to be offered @ 5:15 pm on that date (a Friday) at Our Lady Star of the Sea, the parish he helped build.
I think it would be a wonderful tribute to his life and legacy for as many of his decendents as are able to attend. Speaking of Golden Anniversaries, Pat and Chris Hatch celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary Saturday, Sept. 8. If you would like to send them congratulations, their address is: 14554 Spyglass St., Orlando, Fl 32826.
Finally, thank you to Jackie and Paul for making this blog available. I hope to be an active participant once Stephanie and I are settled after the sale of our house, 9/21. Our temp. address will be 443 S. Spruce St., Galloway, NJ 08205. My cell: 609-602-7182. By the way, if you attended our wedding, it was 10 years ago, 8/23/07.
My, how fleeting is our time on this earth! However, the Good News reminds us, that our focus should always be on our permanent home - Time Eternal - where Patrick, Nellie and all our beloved departed are waiting to celebrate with us a family reunion that will never end.
God Bless all!

1994 Ireland Trip
I just added a folder to the Mooney Family Album called Ireland-1994.
It contains about 193 pictures from a two week trip some family members took to Ireland in June of 1994. To get to the pictures, you need to scroll to the bottom http://www.rahul.net/jsutton/mooney/ of the Mooney Family album and you will see the folder. Just click the folder and the pictures will appear.
Paul Farrell organized this trip and the whole crew was, Paul Farrell, Tommy and Nancy Farrell, Nancy’s mom Elva Alexander, Eddie (Rock) and Donna Mooney, Barbara Mooney, TP Murray, John Murray, Mike Mooney, Sharon Sutton, Jack Sutton, Mary Clark, Courtney Clark, and Mary’s friend Robbie (sorry I don’t know her last name). We all left from Philadelphia Airport on June 1st 1994.
We landed in Shannon on June 2nd 1994 and rented a Volkswagen bus and a sedan for our transportation. We generally made a counter clockwise trip around Ireland visiting well know cities and locations such as Limerick, Tralee, Dingle, Ring of Kerry, Cork, Killarney, Waterford, Kilkenny, Tipperary and Dublin. From Dublin, several of us, TP, John, myself and perhaps Coutrney made a day trip to Northern Ireland and Belfast.
From Dublin we cut cross country to Donegal, then down to Galway with a day boat trip to the Aran Island of Inishmore. We finished down the west coast past the Cliffs of Moher and back to Shannon for our return flight to Philadelphia on June16, 1994.
Paul did an excellent planning job on this as our whole itinerary was mapped out in detail and all B&B’s were booked in advance. Well done lad.
The pictures are in some sort of order following our trip plan, some however are guesses to exact location. I hope everybody can see and enjoy the pictures.

Hello from Cambridge Maryland
Hi All,
Great idea for this blog. I am in the end part of getting my Irish passport. It has taken a long time, but hopefully I should have it soon. The good news is that in using a service for this, they have come up with GrandPa Mooneys birth cert. So if anyone wants a copy let me know. When I get it I will forward on.
I have my own hair salon here, and Mary[know to you as Mary Ellen] runs the place. We are expanding fro 750 sf to 2400 sf, which will take place in the winter.
My son Justin is 24 now and has a son Shane 3. Any of you who have grandkids know how wonderful that is.
Glad to catchup with all my family.
Elizabeth

Mom, (Aunt Anne) & Hi Tech
First of all thanks to all of you for the calls, visits, cards and prayers. Mom is blessed to have such love and support from this wonderful family.
I just had to laugh at this scenario. Mom called me before surgery from the hospital on a ''Bluetooth" (Terry's wife Wanda was with her) and then she is the subject of the first two BLOGS in this new family adventure - It is really great she is 93 and part of what is happening today tech wise - she is not aware of what this means but enjoys the benefits and is thrilled to have all of us in touch. Frank & I visited with Mom on Sunday. She was tired but it is expected between therapy and meds. I do speak with her daily and will continue to send updates to all of you.
Thanks for all of the wonderful photos. A real treasure for me was to see Aunt Isabelle's twin, Tommy. He has always be remembered as part of the family but I never saw a photo of him before.

Hello Mooney Family!
Pop (Tom Farrell) said I should post something about what's going on in mine, my sister, and Mother's life.
I'm the oldest son of Kimberly Farrell (now Lester) and the eldest Grandchild of Tom and Nancy Farrell. After graduating Oakcrest High School in Mays Landing, NJ I travelled to North Jersey to attend Montclair State University. I spent 5 years as a Theatre Major/Communications Minor graduating in 2006. I concentrated in Directing, Dramatic Criticism, and Stage and Production Management. I am now an assistant for an E-Marketing company the provides services for arts and non-profit organizations in New York City and reside in Downtown Jersey City. In October I will be traveling to Houston, TX to start my training as a flight attendant for Continental Airlines. It's a very flexible job that will allow me to do Theatre in my down time as well as see the world .
Patti is currently a client services rep for the Borgata Casino and Hotel in Atlantic City. She has a 1 year old daughter Mackenzie who is a spitting image of her and her father. My Mother currently resides in Nampa, Idaho with her husband John doing restaurant management. She enjoys being a Grandmother and loves to brag about it.
Overall the family is doing very well. It's been a while since I've seen anyone and would like to reconnect with the Mooney side of the family. Hope everyone is doing well.
