Dear loving family of Rose,
I saw your Mom about 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, Wed. I had a root canal then a few days of vacation. I was heading over to Angela Hospice when I felt drawn to check the obituaries. So now I continue to "visit" by prayer for her soul. What a beautiful family you are. Rose was surrounded by love and everyone was welcomed into that intimate circle. I am so grateful to have known her even for a short time and to have met each of you her children.
Praying with you as you move from the painful void of her absence to the consoling fullness of her deeper presence in your lives. God bless all of you. My sympathy

Mr. & Mrs. Jorissen are so important to me it is difficult to express they were absolutely, positively two of the most loving and accepting people I have been fortunate enough to know ... unconditionally welcoming me into their home and into their family. I am humbled to have known them, and grateful to be part of the extended family. My love for them and their family is unending. In adoration of two of the greatest, all our love, Cheryl & Terry

Mrs. J... As you return home to Mr. J, I am overcome with emotion as I think of all our sweet memories Our conversations about the girls, family, and life; passing time together as we watched football, tennis, and golf; and of course, all of our big laughs and warm hugs and kisses. Thank you for always making me feel safe, accepted - God knows you always laughed at my craziness! Ha! -and loved. I'm so glad you will stay with me through all our wonderful memories. I know someday we will all be together again with God. So, for now See you later and I love you forever. Peter D
