Not sure what to say?

We enjoyed our years together. Saddened by our family´s parting you, Pat and Heather have been in our hearts and memories. Our love and prayers go out to both of you. Our shared time together has held fond memories. Prayers go out to you in your loss.

I am so sorry to hear of Rosie's death. She fought hard for so many years but always seemed to stay so positive even with all her struggles. She was such a great nurse and manager. It was a privilege to work with her in the schools, Public Health and the VA. She was truly the best.

All things considering, Heather, I hope that you're doing well. I'm currently cycling through western Montana and I think your mom must have loved growing up here. Best thoughts, Dennis O.

Rosie continues to be on my mind during certain moments , memories and her encouraging ways. Her cancer journey, my need for employment and making a way for me at the VA, her unique way of proofing my college papers. Her ear. The ear that listened then plainly told me her opinions. Could not just pick an option of how I know Rosie because the categories are too numerous. Will miss being able to call or message her, and her saged responses.

I am heartbroken to learn of Rosie´s passing. She was my mentor in 2006 when I became the manager of the Kenai Clinic and she remained a source of knowledge and inspiration to me. Such a kind spirit and a wonderful leader. My deepest sympathies to you Pat and Heather. She loved you both so much.
