To the Powers Family:

We were saddened to see your mom's notice, and express our sympathies to all of you.

We'll always remember seeing the Powers' home, with the green porch, across the street from us, during the days of Lawler Avenue, as well as all of the good times, we all had then.

Your mom will continued to be remembered by the Sweeney's.

Sincerely,

Mary Sweeney
