Not sure what to say?

After Uncle Eddie's funeral we all went to Aunt Stella's house. I hardly ever drink. Maybe two beers a year, and I NEVER sing, for good reason. One of you cousins cracked open a bottle of Jameson and the two of us drank it while telling stories and singing Irish songs and military songs. A true Irish wake. Aunt Stella laughed the hardest of all. That evening is one of my fondest memories

When I married your grandson (Chuck Sweitzer), I never could have imagined being so lucky to be part of such a loving, caring and fun family! You lived your life as a strong beautiful women leading the way for your wonderful children/family! I am so blessed to have known you. Enjoy the next phase of your life, reuniting with your husband and other family members! May your spirit continue to guide the way for us, until we see you again in heaven! Shari Sweitzer

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

I will hold on to those beautiful memories of fun, sun, laughter and games shared with Babi, Ed, Mary, Maura, and Eileen at the Beach and at my wonderful neighbors home.

Rest in peace. Enjoy your Reunion with your Lord and Loved Ones. XOXO

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
I will always carry those memories of fun, sun, laughter and games with Babi and my wonderful neighbors, Ed, Mary, Maura, and Eileen, who invited me to join them.

Rest in peace Babi

Love, Kathy Lingerfelt

Rest in peace, Aunt Stella, after a long productive life full of love.❤❤

Aunt Stella,

Thank you for your bright eyes and bright smile, for being so easy to be with even if had been years since we’d visited, for asking questions in a way that they were actually compliments ...and showed you’d been keeping up with little trees in our big family forest, and for giving most excellent cousins. I love you. Hug and kiss Uncle Eddie for me.
