Steve, thank you for marrying Sharon and bringing your fabulous mother into our family. I feel so lucky and so fortunate to have known Rose Mary! What a wonderfully warm and witty lady. Her joy of life was evident in every gathering, I loved being in her company. Hold onto all of the precious and wonderful memories!

Dear Griese Family - Rosemary was more than a cousin to my mom. She was a sister. Your mom and dad were so special. The Kennedy clan is so saddened to hear of her passing. We had a Cousin's party yesterday and toasted to her memory. Your entire family will always be remembered by the Guilfoy girls. I am so sorry I cannot be with you today but know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Rose Mary was one of my dad's favorite people, and mine too. She was a truly lovely human being and I am so proud to have had her in my family. My deepest condolences to you all. I am sorry that I will not be able to attend her funeral today. She is one person that I would have paid my respects to in person because she is deserving of such. Please know that I will be thinking of you all, and I hope that you can all find God's peace in your hearts. The Kennedy family toasted to her...

Dear Griese Family,
Condolences on your loss. I have many fond memories of times together at the dinner dance club with Rose Mary and Will. I am sure that Lou is already making plans for a similar event up in heaven.
All my love,

'Just learned of your mom's passing (at the 4 PM Mass at St. Joe yesterday evening Father reminded us to remember her in our prayers.) I am glad to be able to send you a warm message from my family - the Seeles. We have nothing but smiles when we remember your parents! What a fun couple! My parents considered their friendship one of the best things in their lives. They shared some really good times: boat outings, the dance club that morphed into the Golden Gourmet Club, and sing-alongs...
