To the Hettstroms...
We did not have any news in Bermuda and feel badly that we were not available to be at the wake or funeral to show our support. We offer our prayers that God will comfort you and give you strength in this sad time. Keep in mind the incredible reunion that will take place in our Heavenly Home! Love to all of you and all of Rose's family and friends.

With deepest sympathy to Rose's family - My sister,her dog Mike and I met Rose in March when our mother moved to Harbor House. We would see her every day in the dining room or by the nurse's station and she was a delight to be around. North 2 is just not the same without Rose. We will miss her.
Sincerely,
Mary Ellen, Judy and Mike White
