Grandma Sweeney, my son-in-law Rob's grandma, was a kind and generous soul. I remember her hosting the many family gatherings when good food and good cheers were generous and heartwarming. She loved and adored her family and kept the family clan together and connected.
I cherish the red and black scars ( I am a scarf collector) she gave me one Christmas. I wear it every Christmas since I got it.
RIP Jean.
