Dear Bill and Family,
I was shocked and saddened to hear the sad news about Rosaleen. She was like sunshine and brought joy and good cheer wherever she went. I will miss our long chats outside of the various churches we frequented. I am sure Our Lord and His Blessed Mother awaited her arrival with open arms. Although we on earth weep at her passing heaven rejoices to have such a gem in their midst.
My deepest condolences to all of you. May she enjoy eternal bliss in heaven.

With deepest sympathy,

Mary Houlihan

A favorite quote from Maya Angelou reminds me of Mrs. Sherlock ... "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

She always made us feel special, as if she was truly so happy to see us!
