Your friendship gave me pleasure and I especially appreciated how you kept me grounded and showed me how to look at things more positively.

To the family of Rose McCabe
I was sorry to hear of the passing of Rose. I worked with Rose's husband Jim at Binghamton, Coca-Cola and new Rose through Jim and the many parties and get together we attended through the years way back when.
Our prayers are with you all during this sad time.
May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer

To Rose Ellen's Boys,
Surely you know the three of you were the light of her life. I know this because of the admiration and brightness that shined around her whenever she spoke of you. I know this because of the way she talked with me about my own boys.
Surely you also know your mom was fiercely loyal to her people. She took better care of me as an employee than I did of her as an employer. She truly was the epitome of professionalism, respect and dedication in the workplace. I am proud to have worked with your mom. I am happy to have known her friendship. I am grateful for the lessons she taught me about living right up until her last days in our presence.
My heart goes out to you boys and your families. I will miss your mom . . . my friend, Rose Ellen . . . but the memories I have of her will bless my heart forever. Thank you for sharing her with me.
