What a sweet and loving family legacy Rosa and her husband leave. I had the opportunity to work with this kind and lovely lady several years ago, and marveled at her life story and gentle spirit. Wishing you all peace at this time.

To Mark and Gavin,
So sorry to hear about your mom and dad. It was a pleasure to have met them both and the entire family when I worked with your mom. She was my favorite patient and I loved her so much. May she rest in peace with your father. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Mark - I never met your mom but extend my sympathies to you and your family in your loss. I'm sure she received excellent care at Tate House (my mother-in-law was in Mandrin House earlier this year).
