It's with great sadness to learn of Rose's passing. Even though I didn't know her well, I remember her as a caring individual and full of life. I know how I felt when I lost my husband to cancer last year. To the family, may you find the courage and strength to carry forward at this very difficult time. We will all miss Rose as she rests peacefully in heaven.

Gaetano, Susanna and family I was saddened to hear of the passing of your beloved Rose, although I never met her I know she was a remarkable woman from how you both spoke about her and your devotion to her. Your love for her gave you strength and I want to thank you for sharing some of that strength with me when I really needed it. I will think of you and your family often as I will think of my father. We were all blessed by the care the wonderful nurses provided our loved ones and for this we can be greatful. You are a lovely family and I am very sorry for your loss, I will remember you and your Rose always. Christina (Rm. 328 York Central Hospital) [email protected]
