I am so sorry to hear about Aunt Rita's passing. My mother cannot make the trip north as she has not been feeling well this past week.

Maureen, my brother Eddie and I plan to attend tomorrow night's wake. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Hello Sheehy Family,

Living in San Diego Ca. for the last 24 years I regularly check the Ledger for local news in and around Weymouth. Seeing your Mom's name in the obituaries brought back numerous memories when we were neighbors and oh so very young.The 2 biggest memories for me was the annual summer well digging that took place in your back yard and the Sound of Music Production we tried so desperately to put on. I'm very sorry for your loss and I know how hard this is for all of you.It will be 2 years in October when we buried my Mom and this past December when we buried my Dad. Again I'm truly sorry for your loss. Kevin Donahue
