John, George, Rose. Alice, and Annie
Words seem inadequate to express the sadness I feel about your mom. She was a very special woman. I'm so glad that I got the chance to see her in the hospital, and she was so happy to see me, I loved it. Hold on tight to your memories for comfort, lean on your friends for strength, and always remember how much I love all of you. I know we never lose the people we love, they live the rest of our lives with us in our heart.~ Love Chris

Annie, Allie, Rose & Family,
I imagine there is no worse time than the loss of a parent. Your mom was truly one of the most open and giving human beings I have ever met. I am so blessed and so grateful to have met her and all of you 27 years ago. I have learned life-long lessons through her kindness, love and generosity and in her memory, I will walk through life with a bigger heart. Her love of life and for her family is a great testament of what a family truly is. You are all a wonderful product of her and your father. May you all find comfort knowing that Mama and Papa are now together dancing again and will watch over you until you all meet again. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. xoxo

To the entire Millette family:
I am so very sorry you've lost your precious Mother. She was such a sweet lady who loved her family so dearly. Though she has left the physical world, know that her spirit lives on..in her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. May all of your happy memories bring you comfort in the days ahead, and the knowledge that she is with your papa again ease your pain. The dictionaries should change the definition of "Mother" to "Rose Millette" as there are few that filled that role as well as she did. My love, thoughts and prayers are with you all..

To Rose's Children, Grandchildren and Great grandchildren,
I am remembering your parents great love story...picturing them holding hands and conversing in heaven. They are for sure in the front row! When I think of what "family" means...I think of your family. May God be with all of you who were so very close to your parents.
Much Love,
Cindy and Puggy
