Another Birthday and your not here. Still miss you like crazy. The kids had a dinner in your honour. They are great kids and are all doing so Good. You now have nine beautiful Grandchildren and it's so hard to believe Jeffrey is in the seventh grade now and such a handsome young man

Michael still misses you so much and always will. You are her sister and her other half.

God Bless you, love you always. My other "Daughter"

The memory of me getting the email from that nice lady at legacy saying this would stay permanently popped up on my phone this Morning. Made my Day AGAIN, I like looking at the photos, wish more of them were here, I have to search around FB sometimes, it's nice to have them in one spot and read over Thoughts and just have some time remembering, smiling, chatting, I forget sometimes You weren't here for some things, like Dallas and Logan are just over 3 months apart in age but Dallas knows you (I have pictures of you with her) and Logan only knows photos and stories. Anyway.....STILL SO surreal some days with talking to you in my mind and Not being able to just pick up the phone and hear you laugh. MISS YOU!!

We will love you always. Goofy, Mom & Dad G. Happy Birthday

I am so Glad this Book will be here always...It is so Sad when I get a notification that Someone has just found out about you going home early......and then I think it would be sadder still if they just kept searching and never knew......Carda...so Sorry you just learned of Mooks passing. We lost touch with So many friends.....We did talk about you and so Many other friends...Laughed about Fun times...even tried to look for a lot of people on line.....sadly we didn't have a lot of success with too many people we always wondered about. Know this though .....anyone who wonders....If you were ever Mooks Friend....She still thought about you Often with Love and a Smile.

I just came across this news today and I cannot tell you how sad this was to hear. I have thought about the Callaghan clan many times over the years and found Mookie's obituary during a web search. I'm so sorry for your loss. Your whole family is in my prayers.

One of the strongest most beautiful people I have ever known; both inside and out. I will never forgot her. I loved her like a sister. I was always sorry that we lost touch with each other.

Emily Gough

March 8, 2013

It is hard to believe that it has been almost 3 years since we lost you. I love and miss you still, you were my oldest Baby and I will always think of you that way, maybe not by blood but by my heart. Michael still misses you so, so much but she has her family, and especially Marty and Logan; to help her get through the 18th, which is still so hard for her. Still hate my birthday. Too many people I love pass away just before although you were the toughest to live with. Maybe this year there will be joy too as Johns baby girl is due any day and maybe this will let me lose some of the sadness I aways have felt on my birthday ever since I realized when I was young how many people I love pass away within 2 months of my birthday. I Love You and want you to know I am now the proud Mama of Lacys' baby "Flash" Michael decided she needed to give her to me after I lost my two babies this summer.

I just recently found out about your death and I was heartbroken. I have been thinking about you and the kids for a long time and decided to try to connect on facebook.. They all look amazing.. Your were always such a strong woman. I always looked up to you and wondered how you did what you did for so long.. You will forever be an inspiration to me and I love that you gave me the opportunity to babysit those 5 beautiful babies of yours.. My first "real" job.. Love and miss you.. xoxoxoxo.. May you rest in peace with our amazing Creator!!

Happy Mothers Day Lady.....I hope you got to look in on the kids and grandkids today....I am sure their Day was not an easy one today and that they were missing you harder than ever so I hope they got to feel you nearby and you got to feel them too....I Miss you so much, actually spoke to Becca today, she asked about my grandson and how i was doing as a fill in parent for him, and i told her you know i am not your mother she would have handled this with No issues at all but that I am doing the best i can with what i have....she agreed you would have had no trouble at all with this...LOL Talked a bit about you today with another friend too, well thats an understatement as usual... I just Miss talking to you so Much...I will see you soon I'm sure...a lifetime can go by so quick even if i have to wait till i am 100 it will probably feel like it was only a few seconds once i see you. I love you lady,

I remember a dinner at my house with my partner Joan, Mookie and Goofy. It was the first time I ever met Mookie and she said the kindest thing - I will never forget. She said that she could tell that my partner and I really loved each other and that she was hoping for a relationship like that. What an amizing validation of my life! I can see that she touched others the same way.

God Saw---God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be,so He put His arms around you and wispered"Come with Me". With tearful eyes we watched you and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly,we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating,hard hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.
