Dear O'Malley family,

My mother Rose and Mrs. O'Malley worked together for many years. I met Mrs. O’Malley when I was about seven years old, and I still remember her as a kind and loving person with a magnetic smile that brought joy and happiness to all. May the Lords grace and mercy help you all through this time of mourning.
