Saiid, your son and daughter and Sr. Redempta,I share your sorrow at your Tata's passing. She was my cherished and most generous neighbor and is truly missed here at the Trimont. My only consolation is knowing she is with your saintly wife and mother. God bless and keep you safe.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at the loss of a wonderful woman.

So very sorry for your loss. What a wonderful life Sis had. Many wonderful memories of time spent with her and Michelle...so grateful. Always remember her saying "did anyone tell you today that you are wonderful". How much she loved to travel...she is now on a great adventure. A cruise of a lifetime. Love to you Joe, Timmy and Sophia and your families.

Over 50 years ago, John and I were "across the street" neighbors of Sis and her family on Plymouth Street. My family, the Kelly's, knew the Sweeney family for years before that. Her family did the flowers for our wedding, and I have nothing but fond memories of her.. Her fashion style and her sincere kindness to everyone will be missed. May you RIP, Sis. God Bless you for all you did for your fellow friends on the Mount.

Sincerely, Terry Gallagher Barker
