My mom sent the obituary to me a few days ago. Please accept my condolences on the loss of your mother. I remember how kind she always was when we (Juanita and I) walked to school during our high school years. She always invited me in to get out of the cold. Juanita, if you read this, please feel free to email me. I'd love to hear from you. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Friend,
We were sorry to see Rosemary's obituary in the Record Eagle. We fully planned to come to the viewing but had to be somewhere else.
