Dear Debbie and Family,
I just learned of your mother's passing. Please accept my sincerest condolences.

Having lost both my parents within the last year and a half, I can empathize with the loss you and your family are experiencing.

Take care.

Dear Deb & Paul, Ray, Alissa & Eric and Jen,
My most sincere condolences and deepest sympathy on Rose's passing. She was a very sweet lady who always knew how to do things with style. The couple of times I was able to eat over her house were great experiences (and I certainly didn't leave hungry!) and she was always so interested in my goings-on. I also always loved how no matter what, she ALWAYS had absolutely perfect hair! I think the best thing that I can say about Rose is that I NEVER saw her without a smile on her face, and she brought that to everyone around her. She will be sincerely missed.

Rose,

I will miss you very much, you are a very special lady who always knew how to make everyone feel good when they were a little down. You were always willing to give to everyone else even if that meant you would have to forgo something for yourself. I always enjoyed going to your house for dinner and a good game of scat.I will miss hearing you say hello to me on the phone in that special way even if i complained that the phone was ringing off the hook. i enjoyed joking around and sneaking a pat on your head (only on wednesdays). I will miss you very much,but i will never forget you . I love you Rosie :-)
