Mr. Sneath, Michele, and Karen, I am sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of your family as your neighbor in Media Heights. Your mother was always lovely and kind. I still appreciate all my rides to and from sports before I could drive. My sympathies to you all. I don’t move as far away, I am only in Kennett Square, PA.

Mr Sneath and Michele and Karen ,I’m sorry. I know she was your wonderful Mother. I remember her as having her hands full with you two girls growing up in Meadia Heights. And the fun comfortable hours in your basement chatting and munching on pretzels from the keep fresh tins. I saw her a few times as an adult since I lived near St Joes ,when she was on work break . She left the world a better place having been here with us .

I remember Romaine very well. We both grew up part of our life in Silver springs. A very nice lady, we sorta went different paths with our lives. I got married To Donald Butzer from Silver Springs. I knew Romaine was a wonderful nurse. I was a school secretary. I saw her two siblings Doris & Annette quite often & always asked about Romaine. God Bless to your family.

To the family of Romaine Sneath, I am a retired nurse and worked at St Joseph Hospital in the 1980s. I remember Romaine as a tiny dynamo with beautiful red hair. She was dependable, fun, and promoted Wellness, when it was in its infancy.
May the Lord hold her in his arms, and may Perpetual Light shine upon her.
