Meet “Jedi Noah” Larkin
2003-2012
Born to this Earth, Sept 19, 2003 • Born to Eternal Life, May 29, 2012
From the day he was born, Noah was described as a light. An old soul, he was always “smiley” and always kind. He was a thinker. Noah was invited to all of the boy’s birthday parties as well as the girl’s. Everyone who crossed his path knew that he was special and different. He led by example, even at his young age.
Andrew Rypien
1995-1998
Andrew Rypien should have turned 24 this year and been playing with his nephew Mekhi, and hanging out on the lake with his sister Angela, and cheering for his niece Malayah at her volleyball game! He should have been able to attend his sister Amber’s wedding last February. Sadly, he was robbed of his life and they were robbed of having their brother & uncle here with them.
Andrew died of pediatric brain cancer at age 3 in 1998. He is survived by his mother Annette, father Mark, sisters Amber & Angela, and many other friends and family members that miss him every day!

Meet TJ REILLY…..
TJ was 10 years old when he was diagnosed with Gliomatosis Cerebral, a rare & untreatable form of brain cancer. Despite this diagnosis, he lived life to the fullest.
So many community members reached out to help TJ’s family create fun, happy memories, and this truly kept the family going.
It is in TJ’s memory & honor that The Over the Moon Foundation reaches out to help other warrior families during these painful times. The “Over The Moon” Foundation was created after TJ’s favorite saying of “I LOVE you to the moon and back!” He said this as long as his mother Krissy can remember.

Nancy Janosco
1956-2021
Beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, cousin, and friend, Nancy Janosco, age 64, passed away on Friday, February 28, 2021. Formerly Nancy Florence Kiernan, she was born in Malden, Massachusetts, attended Malden High School, and then attended North Adams State College where she received her bachelor’s degree.
To all, and in the full grace of God her Lord and Savior, Nancy was a beaming light that illuminated all darkness. Love and devotion to serving others were the ways in which she chose to live. Her faithfulness in spreading her kind and generous spirit showered those around her with unconditional love and warmth. She prayed, she loved, and she gave.
While residing in Celebration, Florida she was a longstanding member of Corpus Christi Catholic Church, and she enjoyed life’s truest blessings of spending time with her husband and children, and watching her grandchildren grow, play, and learn. She enjoyed lunches and dinners out with family and friends at local eateries, and visiting the Disney theme parks where she magically inspired those to dream and hope. During her summers in Old Orchard Beach, Maine, she and her husband spent their
time hosting family and friends, creating unforgettable, longstanding memories on the beach and pier, and savoring sunsets, full moons, and nature’s sounds and landscapes.
