				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Jonathan “Buddy” Thompson, age 28, passed away on November 5, 2026, due to surgical complications at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. Although his passing leaves an unimaginable emptiness in the lives of those who loved him, we find comfort in knowing that he is no longer suffering or in pain.

Buddy was the beloved son of Robert Thompson and Sherri Novak. He is survived by his grandparents, Janice and Joseph Schaffer; his Uncle Mike; and his siblings, Bobby Thompson, Mark Thompson and his wife, Erin, Christopher Thompson, Patrick Thompson, Anthony Thompson, and Natalie Novak.

He also leaves behind his nieces and nephews: Jacob, Grace, Evan, Isaac, Eli, Silas, Samson, Judah, Cameron, Brennan, Anthony, Kylee (Alex), Samantha, River, Jason, and Isabella. He was also an uncle to two great-nieces, with another on the way, and a great-nephew. He will be deeply missed by his loving girlfriend, Nicole, and, of course, his beloved “son,” Cow.

Buddy had a love for the things that made life enjoyable. He loved fast cars, motorcycles, fishing, fancy dinners, and cats. He was working toward building a career and a future that would bring him a sense of purpose and fulfillment. At just 28, he was at a point in his life where so much was still waiting for him. He had plans to pursue, goals to accomplish, and experiences he had yet to discover. He looked forward to one day starting a family of his own, a future that held so much promise.

Above all, Buddy had a heart of gold. He loved his family and cherished the friendships that meant so much to him, especially his best friends, Shawn and Trevor. He was loved by so many, and his absence will be felt in countless ways by those whose lives he touched.

Our family would like to express our sincere gratitude to the doctors, nurses, and medical staff at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania for their care and compassion throughout Buddy’s time there.

Though his time with us was far too short, Buddy will forever remain a part of the lives and hearts of those who loved him.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Christopher Mark Mumink, born December 17, 1966, passed away peacefully at home on November 2, 2026.

Christopher was the son of Charlotte Valesky and the late Peter Mumink Jr. He was a graduate of Pennsville High School and had a lifelong love for cars. That passion grew into a career as a highly skilled transmission specialist. During his time working at Eakins Groff Pontiac Buick GMC (originally known as Eakins Groff) in Penns Grove, New Jersey, Christopher earned professional certifications and developed the knowledge and expertise that would shape his career.

Eventually, Christopher took his experience and passion a step further by opening and operating his own business, Overhaulen Transmissions, in Deepwater, New Jersey, near Slapes Road. His dedication to his trade and love for automobiles allowed him to turn something he genuinely enjoyed into his life's work. He took pride in his mechanical abilities and the business he built through years of hard work and experience.

Above all, Christopher was known for his incredible sense of humor. He had a way of making just about anyone laugh, often with his quick wit and famously inappropriate sense of humor. He could turn an ordinary moment into one filled with laughter, and those who knew him will undoubtedly remember his jokes, his personality, and the laughter he brought into their lives. Christopher had a sense of humor that wasn't always appropriate, but was always unforgettable. He could make anyone laugh, often when they least expected it.

Those closest to Christopher will also remember one of his favorite sayings: "You'll get it when I get it." A phrase that, much like his humor, will surely live on through the memories and stories shared by those who loved him.

Christopher was preceded in death by his father, Peter Mumink Jr.; his three brothers, Peter Mumink III, Mark Mumink, and Bryan Mumink; and his beloved grandparents, Peter Mumink Sr., Iris Sharpe, and Philomena Mumink, all of whom held a special place in his heart.

He leaves behind his loving mother, Charlotte Valesky, and his stepfather, Steve Valesky; his beloved children, his daughter, Paige Mumink, and his sons, Robert Plale and Stone Mumink; his cherished grandchild, Atlas Lance; his niece and nephews, Ariel Mumink, Bryan Mumink Jr., Markie Mumink, and Brandon Mumink; his aunt, Salley Hernz, and uncle, Bill Hernz; his uncle, Ed Sharpe; his cousins, Sophia Mahop, Zach Yuen, Steven Sharpe, and Keith Sharpe; his future son-in-law, Mark Dolbow; and his dear friend and best friend, Pat Beals, who held a special place in his life.

Christopher will be remembered for his love of cars, his dedication to his trade, the business he built, his unmistakable humor, and the unforgettable personality that made him who he was. Though he will be deeply missed, the laughter he shared, the work he took pride in, and the memories he created will live on in the hearts of those who loved him.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Patrick Thomas Mullin, 19, affectionately known as Patty, Pattycakes, Pat, Patty-Pat, or simply "P," passed away on October 31, 2026, after a lifelong battle with mitochondrial disease—a battle he faced every day with the heart and spirit of a warrior.

Though Patrick rarely spoke a word aloud, he had a remarkable way of saying everything without saying anything at all. His expressions, gestures, infectious belly laughs, and loving snuggles spoke volumes. Those fortunate enough to know Patrick understood that words were never necessary to feel his love, share in his joy, or know exactly what was on his mind.

Throughout his 19 years, Patrick experienced the world with the childlike wonder, innocence, and pure, unfiltered joy of a four-year-old little boy. He found happiness in the simplest things—music, bright colors, silly antics, and the kind of slapstick humor that could send him into fits of laughter. Patrick's world was a colorful, magical place, filled with beloved characters and familiar stories that never lost their charm. His room reflected everything he loved, with larger-than-life pictures and decorations that brought his favorite characters from Sesame Street, The Muppets, Toy Story, and Thomas the Tank Engine to life, immersing visitors in his special world.

His beloved iPad was rarely far from his side, loaded with clips of his favorite shows and movies that he watched on repeat. And repeat. And repeat again. Patrick never tired of the things that made him happy, and anyone who spent enough time with him eventually knew every word, every song, and every silly sound by heart. It was impossible to be part of Patrick's world without learning the soundtrack.

At the center of Patrick's world was his family, who loved him fiercely and unconditionally. His mother, Carrie (Brzycki) Fordyce, was his constant companion, advocate, and biggest champion. Every morning, she would enter his room and greet him with the same loving name: "Lovebug." Patrick adored his mom, always searching for her, gazing deeply into her eyes, sharing his biggest belly laughs, and squeezing her hand in a way that said everything words never could. Their extraordinary bond was built on a lifetime of love, trust, and an understanding that needed no spoken language.

Carrie devoted herself tirelessly to giving Patrick the fullest, happiest life possible. She became his voice and an unwavering force in the fight against mitochondrial disease, pursuing treatments and the hope of a cure while advocating for his needs in education and healthcare. Through fundraising for the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation (UMDF), sharing Patrick's story, and raising awareness, she helped turn their family's journey into a source of inspiration and hope for others.

Patrick shared a lifetime of special memories with his father, Eric W. Mullin, from riding his favorite attractions at Sesame Place and Disney World to countless family vacations. Eric lovingly carried and assisted Patrick even as he grew into a young man and his physical challenges increased. Patrick's excited hand gestures, playful expressions, and silly sounds never failed to bring a smile to his dad's face.

Patrick also shared a special bond with his devoted stepfather, Joseph D. Fordyce, who entered his life when Patrick was a tween. Although they had just under eight years together, their connection was strong from the start. Joe embraced Patrick exactly as he was, quickly learned his unique language, and spent countless hours by his bedside.

Patrick was blessed with the best big brother he could have asked for in Alex (AJ) Mullin, and he happily welcomed stepsiblings Daniel, Claire, and Josephine Fordyce into his life. His siblings and cousins—Samantha (Sami) and Cody Twigg, and Harper and Cole Brzycki—were his best friends and biggest cheerleaders. They celebrated his joys, embraced his uniqueness, and loved him exactly as he was.

Sami held an especially treasured place in Patrick's heart. Born just six weeks apart, they were twin souls and partners in crime from the very beginning. She was one of his favorite people, always wanting him by her side and including him in the milestones and special moments of her life.

Patrick was also deeply loved by his doting maternal grandparents, Norma and Louis Brzycki; his aunts and uncles, Jana and Don Twigg, Drew and Dawn Brzycki, Shelly and Michael Lasenick, and Matthew Fordyce; his paternal grandparents, William and Janet Mullin; his step-grandparents, Carolyn Fordyce, Jeff Kahn, Joseph Fordyce, and Suzanne Sweeney; and his cousins, Mikayla and Ethan Lasenick.

Throughout his life, Patrick was blessed with an extraordinary group of nurses who became so much more than caregivers. They were his companions, protectors, playmates, and, ultimately, an extension of his family. They spent countless hours by his side, expertly managing his complex medical needs while sharing in his laughter, learning his expressions, and embracing all the little things that made him Patrick. Their dedication went far beyond their profession, and the love they shared with Patrick was genuine and deeply felt. They stood beside him through every challenge, remaining with him until the very end. His family will forever be grateful for the compassion, devotion, and love they gave him throughout his life.

Patrick's story reached far beyond those who knew him personally. Featured in videos, articles, and social media posts, he became a symbol of hope, resilience, and strength for families navigating the challenges of mitochondrial disease. His journey helped raise awareness, inspired others to keep fighting, and reminded people that even a life filled with extraordinary challenges can also be filled with extraordinary joy.

Though his time here was far too short, the joy he brought into this world and the love he inspired will last a lifetime.

Please wear green in honor of Patrick and his battle with mitochondrial disease.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Patrick's memory to the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation (UMDF) to support research, awareness, and families affected by mitochondrial disease: https://umdf.donordrive.com/campaigns/Patrick_Mullin_Memorial

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[In Loving Memory

Phyllis Loetell of Pittsgrove, NJ, has departed this life to continue her journey and reunite with her beloved spouse, her dearly loved sisters and brothers, and numerous dear friends who went before her, all of whom she had missed so very deeply.

Phyllis had a love for travel and adventure, enjoying opportunities to explore new places and experience the history and beauty of the world. Among her many travels, she'd like to reminisce about cruising the Nile, exploring England, visiting Gettysburg and Williamsburg, and taking trips to Las Vegas with her family and friends. Each destination offered its own precious memories and experiences that she treasured.

She also had a passion for shopping and reselling antiques, enjoying the hunt for unique and special finds. Her love of discovery was a part of what made her life her own. Phyllis leaves behind her 3 children, 4 grandchildren, 4 great-grandchildren, the extended family of her siblings, and a colony of spoiled cats.

We send our love with Phyllis to all those who went before her. We know your reunions will be joyous, filled with laughter and love, and the happiness of being together again.

In accordance with Phyllis' wishes, there will be no Memorial or Service. Instead, she asked that anyone who wished to remember her donate to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, stjude.org, to spread hope to those in need.

'May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sunshine warm upon your face, the rain fall soft upon your fields, and until we meet again, my God hold you in the hollow of His hand.'
