Dear Pat, Michael, Susan and Danny,
Your Mom and Dad always confirmed that there was an abundance of goodness and love in the world. Rosemary always had the right solutions. It is she that would have sewn on Peter Pan's shadow instead of using soap. All of you will always be in my heart with great memories of "Never Neverland"

Pat, Susan, Michael and Dan,
I have such fond memories of 29 Watervliet Ave with all of you and your parents. Your mom was always so kind and welcoming. (I still bake her Russian Sour Cream cake recipe.) May you find peace and comfort in knowing that your mom and dad are finally reunited in God's loving care.
With heartfelt sympathy.

We're sorry to hear about your mom. She was a very sweet lady and I will always remember her fantastic Irish Soda Bread on St. Patricks Day. May she and your father be holding hands in heaven enjoying each others company eternally. Again our prayers and condolences to your entire family.
