Dear Mooney family
My Wife Robin and I were saddened to hear of your Mom's passing, and ask that the LORD will comfort you all as only HE can.
Some will say your Mom lived to be 90, but I am sure there will be day to come as with my Dad who also passed away at 90, you will sit there longing to have just another conversation, another family meal together, and just be able to visit, Cherish these memories as they are the gift we are given as we take our walk through this life.
May the LORD Bless You all and Keep You during this time, Through Christ Our LORD
GOD Bless

I knew Jane since I was a little boy growing up on Liberty St. Jane was a very compassionate and caring lady. When I started doing work on family tree Smith/Riedinger she was more helpful than words can say. She had a vast knowledge of family and Hackettstown and its people. I sat with her in her home for many hours and the unselfish help & knowledge she extended to me will never be forgotten. Jane may you rest in peace and to her family may GOD be with you in your time of sorrow.

Jimmy, Cathy and Janey, so sorry to hear about your Mom. Living on Liberty St. and knowing her as a neighborhood Mom was one of our highlights. Know that she is in a better place sitting next to our Lord savior. God Bless you all.

Mrs. Mooney was one of the first people we met when we moved to Hackettstown 30 years ago. Between the neighborhood matriarchs of Mrs. Mooney, Helen Mulvihill, and Julia Hydesh I always knew I had help whenever I needed it. As the Gardner's said so well, she was a wonderful, kind, and gentle spirit and she will be greatly missed by those who knew her!
