I so miss my weekly visits with Rose at Ridgewood Care Center. I miss seeing her walking toward me pushing her wheel chair and lighting up when she saw me. I miss our conversations and our times of prayer, a time when we always prayed for various members of her family that God might see you through whatever struggle was facing you at the time. I miss her delighted reaction when I kissed her on the cheek at leaving time each Wednesday. I look back on her funeral and am grateful that it was exactly the funeral she had wanted, a funeral that took her back to a time in her life of faith where she felt most comfortable and moved by the language and the ceremony of it all. I am sure that she is in heaven soliciting help directly from God for all of you she held dear. I am so grateful to have had our many years of visits. God bless you.

Rose was a dear friend over nearly the last a decade. We met through the Home-bound Ministry of St. Patrick's Parish and enjoyed chatting and praying with her and bringing her the Eucharist each week. We will miss her as a person of deep faith and gratitude. May God bless her and welcome her home.
