When Jesus was crucified, he saw his mother Mary and his disciple John at the foot of the cross. He said to his mother, Woman, behold, your son. Then he said to the disciple, Behold, your mother. Upon reading RoseAnns obituary, I saw how she was a mother in numerous ways. Even though she was only 2 years older than me, I began to realize that she was my mother too. We shared 5 of her 20 teaching years at the Aquinas Institute, and many of her Basilian Lay Associate meetings. Moreover, The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that Our prayer for them is capable not only of helping them, but also of making their intercession for us effective. May RoseAnn not only rest in peace, but also help us.

Dear Tom, John, Bill and family,
Having our birthdays on January 7, your Mother and I shared the day at AQ even while teaching. My years there with her were a pleasure. She was a role model for many of us. She is in our prayers as are you.

She was a very dear friend, and her smile would light the room. Many beautiful memories of this beautiful woman will remain with me, especially the last few years at St.Ann's. Love always surrounded her with the way you beautiful girls took care of her. She is an angel for sure.
