Susan A. Sweeney

To the Sweeney Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Sue and I were on the swim team together at MHS. I live on the west coast now and just heard today from an old friend who heard from another friend's mother about Sue's passing. We are stunned. Sue was such a kind hearted charming girl who made me laugh so hard until my face hurt. Please accept my belated condolences. Huge hug. Sue always hugged me first just because she could. The world will miss her kind open hearted spirit. Truly a...

Susan,

Missing you today and everyday. Rest in peace and know we love you.....

To Susan, who left us too soon. You had a heart too gentle and too delicate to take all the harshness that this world has. You touched so many people so much more deeply than you ever imagined. Helen Keller said, "The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart." You live on in the hearts you left behind. We will cry because you are no longer with us, but smile because of the sunlight you left as a mark on our hearts. We...

Dear Sweeney Family,

First and foremost, I need to tell you how much I love you. From the first time we met, almost fifty years ago, our friendship blossomed and there was an instant bond between the families. We have laughed together so many times, and we have cried with one another also. Our unity withstood so many great events, and sad times only brought us closer and surely made us stronger.

You are, and always have been a big...

Susie, Susie, Susie,

It has been almost a year since you left us and we speak of you often. Your passing has left more people than you will ever know... numb and still shaking their heads, saying "what happened? and why?".

You were, and always will be a very beautiful woman, both inside and out. When you walked into a room, your radiant smile and infectious laugh lit up the entire space, like no other.

Your genuine concern for...

Dear Susan,

Today we celebrate Megan's first birthday. What a year it's been. I'll never forget talking to you before her first surgery and you said to me "It's going to be ok Trish, the first one will be the hardest for you" and how much comfort your words gave me......I miss you and I love you. Thanks for those beautiful words and for being there when I needed you................

Dear Sweeney family,

We were so sad to hear of Susan's passing. My memories of her were of a little blonde baby, playing in your yard with Debbie, Tricia, and Mathew, and swimming in your pool in the summer time. I wish you all peace and comfort through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who came to build a bridge to lead us home.

With great sympathy,
Adrienne, Frankie & Borriello family.

I was a high school classmate of Susan's and I'm saddened to hear of her death. I'm happy to have known her and to have shared memories with her. I am very sorry for your loss.

I was so shocked and saddened to learn of Susan's passing.

Susan and I were friends in High School and her death has caused me to pause and think back many years ago to the times that we shared during those years: her love for swimming, her larger than life laugh and so many other memories that bring a smile.

I know that she is at peace and I pray that her family will find peace and comfort during this difficult time.

My deepest condolences.
