Dear Maddy, Leigh, Fred and families,
I was so sorry to hear about Barbara. Although I didn't know her as well as I knew others in the Quinn family, it saddens me to hear of someone passing at such a young age. I have many fond memories of times that the Brandt family spent with your family and I offer all of you my deepest sympathy for your loss. I will keep her in my prayers.
Sincerely,

Maddie & Family: I was very sorry to learn of Barbara's passing. My Dad, Tom Sheehy, was very fond of her, not to mention your parents and the three of you. He took care of the grounds at your Common St home in Belmont. My aunt, Peg Shea McDonough, from San Francisco, took care of you all when she first arrived in Belmont from Co. Kerry, Ireland. She still asks me if I know where the Quinn family are. She has such happy memories, and stories, of her years with all of the Quinns. Your Dad& Mom were more than kind to her and gave she and her husband a wonderful honeymoon. She has been forever grateful. I will let her know of Barbara's passing. My prayers are with you.
