I am so sorry to hear of Mrs. Sweet's passing. I had the opportunity to meet her when I ran my campaign for Bermuda District Supervisor. I knocked on her door in Greenleigh and she let me put a sign up in her yard. I frequently ran into her at Ukrops. She would call me occasionally when she had community concerns. She was famous for her story of the long route she needed to take when leaving the Chester Post Office in order to avoid making a left.

She was an active citizen, one who made the community a better place. She will be missed.
