My condolences to you all. I have such good memories of mrs. Sweeney. Our connection began with quota club at least 40 years ago. Then she would shop at Heinens where I work. She was always smiling. Such a sweet lady.
I am so very sorry for your loss. I’m so glad that Taylor got to know her and love her. And even more glad that you got to be with them in May when they got married
