Dear Chuck, Tom, Mark and Lynne,
Rose came into my life through St. Susanna's Ladies of Charity. We immediately hit it off and became the best of friends. We visited many sick and elderly and enjoyed the time we spent with them. She was always full of life and laughter. We made a great pair. I will miss her terribly. I do already. She trusted in God and believed that He would lead her in the right direction. She loved the church and the Rosary. She will always be remembered as a servant of God and did what she could do to lead a faithful and spiritual life. Love you....
