I spoke with Jack last night and he told me that Rosalee had died. I live down in the country and somehow missed it in the paper; we had spoken when the bridge collapsed and she assured me she and the family were all right. I should like to tell you how sorry I am. What a dear and lovely person she was and always so very kind to me. I shall miss her cards in her beautiful handwriting. Never shall I forget her. God Bless. Wm.

Donna and fmaily, my prayers and thoughts are with you. Your mom was so funny. I remeber as kids, we would think we were being sneaky, but she always seemed to know if we were up to something, and would guide us to do the right thing.
God bless,

Martin / Bonine Families,
We were so sorry to hear Rosalee passed away and our heartfelt condolences go out to all of you. We appreciated all the effort she put into and shared about the Bonine family as my Mother Frances (Bonine) Schnickels was always Aunt Fran to Rosalee. May everyone find peace in knowing how she gave of herself to those she knew and met.
Sincerely,
Delores & Irv Snyder Blaine, Mn.
