Dear Stinson Family,
I was so sorry to hear of your dear mother's death. I have so many great memories of her and of all the Petunias. They were a special group of ladies who did so much for us as we were growing up in Medford and attending St. Mary's.

To all my cousins. I was so sad to learn of Aunt Rosie's passing. She joined Uncle Dan, her brother, just 13 days after he passed.

With love, Linda Colton Harris

Our family, Walter, Louise, Ronald and I lived next door to the Stinsons on 4th street in Medford during the 50s when Ron and I were students at St. Mary's. I baby sat Pat, Mike, Danny and Lynette and they were all great kids. My mother and Rose were very good friends and the Stinsons were ideal neighbors.

Thank you so much for posting this in the Portland paper - I have wonderful memories of Rosie and all of you - She was a wonderful woman and friend to my mom (Virginia). Tricia Westgate Schaecher
