I can't think about my childhood and not think about Mrs Hennessey. She was so kind and thoughtful and I will always remember the times at their house. I only regret not keeping more in touch .

Sue, Mark and family, When I think of happy memories of my childhood, your Mom will always be near the top of the list. She made our neighborhood a special place and always made all of the kids on the block feel welcome and safe. She was one of the nicest and most generous people I've ever known. After a long life that made an indelible mark on this world, she has earned her rest. God bless Mrs. H! We will miss you...

All my childhood memories, of my neighbor, Mrs. Hennessey, were happy ones! She was so kind and generous to everyone around her and left an imprint on each soul she touched. I remember her taking us to the drive in movies and all us kids laying on the roof of her big station wagon with our pillows and blankets. She had a youthful spirit and a love for children. I will miss her presence from this earth but I know the heavens are awaiting her homecoming with great anticipation. God bless you Mrs. Hennessey... You did good. With love...Pat Cunningham

Sue, Mark and Family - Even though I haven't seen your mom in a long time, looking at her picture brings back a flood of the best memories growing up. My memories of your mom are of a kind, loving, sweet, gentle woman, a saint. Her presence on this earth will be greatly missed but I know God has his right-hand angel. Rest in Peace Mrs. Hennessey With all my love and admiration - Linda

Mrs.Hennessey(Bernice),was a very bright light, when I reflect back on my childhood memories. She was a the neighborhood MOM to all of the kids on the block, and beyond.. A very generous and loving woman, with so much compassion and joy inside of her! Children always gravitated around her and to her. I would have to say she was like an angel in the eyes of us wide eyed children.I will never forget you, Mrs. Hennessey. You touched so many people's lives in such a beautiful way. God bless you always and may you have eternal happiness in heavan. Love, Mary Cunningham xo

Mrs. Hennessey was a wonderful lady and a neighbor who was always near and dear to my heart. When we were kids, she was like the pied piper of children. I remember her taking us for ice cream and making sure all the kids in the neighborhood could have swimming lessons. I remember going to the Enchanted Forest with her and my Mom and our respective broods. We spent countless hours in her backyard playing football and "glowball," a game we made up which was like baseball but with a plastic ball that glowed. It also guaranteed no broken windows! Going waaaay back, I can barely remember the time a small black bear came up to her back fence and she ushered all us kids into her living room. Mrs. Hennessey did so much for so many. She always smiled and was always welcoming to all us kids...so much so that I saw no problem at the age of 5 to go looking for her and walking straight into her house, calling her name, only to walk into Mr. and Mrs. H's bedroom and have a surprised Mr. H. escort me out! Before my Dad passed away, I learned that Mrs. Hennessey had been his babysitter when he was a kid! How strange they should all move so close to each other later in life. Mrs. Hennessey is one of my fondest memories of growing up on the corner of Sunset and Second. She was one of the kindest and most loving people I ever met. She always looked out for others in life and I know she will look out for all her loved ones from above. You will be missed Mrs. H. God bless you...and please give my Mom and Dad a hug for me. I know they will be happy to see their old neighbor and friend. God bless you Sue and Mark during this difficult time. Your old friend and neighbor. Mike

Mrs. Hennessey was a wonderful woman and very generous. I spent many nights at her house with her daughter Sue and our "gang", Linda, Kelli, Lisa and so many others. Sitting at her kitchen table or in the cellar playing foosball. Many great times. Rest in Peace "Bernice" you are a great soul.
