I met your mom on many occassions and she was always a sweet and warm person. She made you feel like you knew her forever even though you just met. I am sure you will miss her terribly. My deepest sympathies are with you during this most difficult time.

Dear Rose and family, My deepest sympathy on your mom's passing. A wonderful lady. I had the great fortune of visiting with her at the zoo every so often while working down there. I will always cherish the Irish sweater she suprised me with one day. This planet is a little emptier today without her. You are all in my prayers.

Rose and Family,
Our prayers are with you during this difficult time when you have to say goodbye to your Mom. Take comfort in the fact that she is surely in heaven having a wonderful time, and that she will be able to help all of you in a special way that wasn't possible while she was here on earth. Our prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
