To the Family and loved ones of Mrs. Irene Sweeney. "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." ... "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." She was such a joy and a pleasure to work with at the BMV on Kimberly Parkway was my first encounter with her. She will truly be missed. Continued prayers to the family.
