My sincere sympathy to the Reardon Family. Sandy was a classmate of mine and we became evan closer the last 10 years sending emails to each other. I could tell of her love of her family with the stories she would brag about her grandchildren. She was very proud of her job and I could picture her reading stories to the children. I have missed her emails for some time but it is time to let go. A life well lived Sandy
Your family is in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time in your lives. I will always have fond memories of Mrs.Reardon. She was a very sweet teacher of mine and I enjoyed seeing her at the library. God Bless, Jennifer Pulice Curtis

Amy and family, I am very sorry for your loss. Cherish your memories. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Amanda
My deepest sympathy to the entire family. I went to story hours since I was 3 years old and for the last 5 years, I volunteered with Mrs. Reardon for the story hour programs. I grew close to her over the years. My childhood library memories always include her and the library’s programs, and some of the most fullfilling things I’ve ever done were while volunteering with the programs.
My sympathies to the whole Reardon family. It’s amazing how one person touches a life in many ways- as my teacher, my own child’s story book teacher, and to see how special she was to my friend, her beloved granddaughter Amy. May she rest in peace. Kelli Fournier

My heart goes out to each and every one of you.
