Words fail at times like these. It was with great sadness that I learned of the passing of yet another member of our Sweezey clan. Marlene, Ronny, and Kenny, I send my sincerest condolences for the loss of your sibling. Massachusetts gained a hard working salt of the Earth group if Irish when our grandfather migrated down from Maine during the great depression. I'm told that the Seeezey family showed my father many kind considerations in his later years. Please know that good thoughts are being sent to the Sweezey extended family at these sad times.
