Sissy attended the Free Christian Church in Andover where she leaves many Christian friends. She also found her strength from knowing God as He walked with her through her journey for transplant and recovery and knew she would one day be home.

God Bless You!” Also Janine Mellinakas, Sue Borrilli, Lucy Oliveria and Phyllis Bonaduci…”thanks for the memories and road trips, we had some fun and laughs didn’t we?”
