Ann Sweeney

Ann was the best, kindest friend I ever had. I knew her when she met Joe, I roomed with her sharing a huge jar of pickles and a large chunk of cheese; we shared and the best of times, and the worst of times for both of us. I cherish the book of Edna St. Vincent Millay's poetry she gave me and I opened it just last week. We were two small town girls who really never left there but were not afraid to venture farther. I am spilling tears for her even now. I wrap her family in the knowledge...

Dear Mom
I have had some roadblocks in my path, and I continue to fight. I miss you more each day. You raised a son that can fight through fire and brimstone to find the way. I will do my best to persevere through all barriers until I find my way home. I will battle to make sure I am the man that you raised.

Bridget: I am very sorry for the loss of your mother. I share your grief and pain. My prayers goes out to you, Joe, Kathryn, Maureen and Mark. Raj

Sweeney Family,
I just heard about Mrs. Sweeney's untimely passing. I am shocked and saddened. I remember her so well, from my frequent trips to Grand Rapids. I always felt like one of the "girls" when I would be included in sleepovers. She would make sure we had slumber party fun in the upstairs family room on the giant sectional couch. The last time I was in town in 2010, I drove past the old house, and could see her waving from the driveway, with a beautiful, red lipstick smile. ...

Dear Joe,
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Kathryn and family:

So sorry to hear of your loss. May fond memories light your day.

Much love,

My sincere condolences to the Sweeney family. Ann was a caring, generous and funny role model for me.....she always had great advice on handling teen-age boys :) She will be missed.
