I remember the reunion that ended up in your dad's bar on 5th street across from Incarnation, what a great time. Your dad was a great guy. Note heaven has a great bar tender.

My sincerest condolences to the Sweeney Family. I first met Mike over 40 years ago while I was dating his sister Kitty. My fondest memory was when Kitty and I would visit Mike and I would go down to his bar and drink Johnny Jameson. Many great Memories.

Dear Maureen and Family:
Be assured of my prayers for all of you during this most trying time. We cannot ever forget those wonderful Sunday dinners on 5th Street, nor those Saturday and Sunday dancing sessions.
Mickey surely did all he could to make the Irish traditions prevail. Of late, we recall those Sunday dinners and get togethers in Glenside. We can only thank God for all these wonderful memories. Good luck and God Bless.
Fondly,
Marge Sheedy
