Not sure what to say?

Not a day goes by that I don't think of this wonderful Lady. Thank you for being my friend. I planted many sunflowers and roses for you to see. I'll miss you for ever.

Rest in peace Aunt Fran.

To the entire Roach family...My heartfelt prayers and thoughts are with you at this time. I wish I could have been there...and you know I would have....put just getting over surgery. The Roach family and the Pavlik family were very close back in the old Riverdale neighborhood and I always felt like that was my second home when I was a kid. Francis will be missed but she is now back in the loving hands of the love of her life...Frank. God bless this great family.

I met Mrs Roach in 2016 when I was in rehab for hip replacement, she was a ray of Sunshine always enjoyed talking with her. I returned the following year for the other hip replacement. One of the first things I ask was if she was still at York, everyone that came in contact with Mrs Roach immediately fell in love with her. She was so proud of her room at York and always had a special wreath on her door. To her family, so sorry for your loss, she loved you dearly. ...

So sorry for your lost .

I am greatly saddened to hear about the loss of your mother Mrs roach she was truly one of my favorite patients she was like another grandmother to me last time I talked to her she was always wondering how I was doing before her self making sure my health was ok I never forget the time we spent together especially outside on the patio she will forever have a place in my heart rest in paradise Mrs roach

We are all going to miss Mrs. Roach so much. Already the Colonial Wing feels different. She was such a wonderful creative woman and so much more than just a resident at York. She was an ear to listen and gave great advice and always so pleasant. Such a one of a kind woman that I admire.

Our family is saddened to hear of your loss. I remember her fondly from Immaculate Conception Catholic Church. Nancy, you and your entire family will remain in our thoughts and prayers.

I am saddened at the loss of Mrs. Roach..
Please know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Your mom will always be remembered for her kindness and strength and her love for her family...
May God be with you all...
RIP Mrs. Roach..
