Kathleen Sweeney Obituary

Dr. Sweeney and Family,

Barbara and I want to express our deepest sympathies to you and all of the Sweeney Family. I knew Kathy due to the friendship she shared with my late mother Gene Keilman. I had the good fortune to meet Kathy and many of her family over the years when visiting along with my mother. She always made me feel welcome and conveyed a warmth that quickly puts one at ease. I am grateful to have met her and deeply appreciate the friendship she shared over the years with my mother.

Today is the day of my Mom's wake. How we miss her. I was just reading the guest book and smiled when I read the entry written by my friend, Karen. I can picture my Mom saying that about each one of her children and grandchildren. We were her life's work and she was so proud of each of us. Now we will go forward always holding her love close to us and remembering all the lessons she taught us.

My condolences to the entire Sweeney family. It's a difficult transit yet I hope smiles and stories are liberally shared amidst the tears. I never met her but in knowing two of her sons I can easily imagine how much she will be missed.

I met Maureen's mother and told her how much I enjoyed working with her daughter. Mrs. Sweeney smiled and said,"Maureen is my gift to the world." A memory I will always treasure. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Karen and Tom Brenner

What a blessing to have known Kathleen Sweeney. Few will recall Kathleen's contribution to arthroscopic surgery with the introduction of the Fuji mum; used for resection in the SweeKnee simulator.

Blessings to the matriarch and all of the wonderful Sweeney family that carry within them the vitality and love of Kathleen Sweeney and especially to my dear friend Howard who shared her life.

Godspeed
Love,
Kathy

To my 2nd Mom, You are the love of my life, my inspiration for what I am doing now-which is returning to school. We had many happy times together, the last one was when we finished a jigsaw puzzle together-how happy we both were! I saved the recording on my answering machine on my B-Day that my 2nd Mom left me on Oct 1st-I have premonations a lot of the times and I'm glad that I saved that recording because now I will always hear her wish me a Happy Birthday for the rest of my life and that means lot to me. Kathleen Sweeney is a wonderful woman she was kind yet firm. I think one of her happiest moments was when Kathleen became a citizen of U.S.A. After that was the the joyous occasion of a grandchild beig born esp. when it turned into greatgrandchildren!! My 2nd Mom & Dad were very happy to get away from it all and go to their house in Galena where I imagine they would just take it easy and maybe go to quaint boutiques. My 2nd mom lived a good life filled with kids, which were her life until Dad got home from the Hospital then her focus was on him,making sure he had eaten, was he comfortable,what show did he want to watch and it was always one of two shows 1) MASH 2) Benny Hill. It was a good life!!
I will miss my 2nd mom greatly it will hurt all the time now, but as time meanders as it's prone to do, out of the blue some scent, a glimpse of something will strike a chord and a mass of memories will become my 2nd mom all over again-which is sometimes what we live for "Memories". This was Kathleen's favorite Irish Poems it's called The Irish Blessing: May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields, and until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His Hand. Kathleen until we meet again know that I love you,miss you,will think of you often,& say hi to everyone I know up there, including my pets. XXXOOO Lots of Love, Kathy
