Dear Pat and family,
We missed the obituary and just found out about Rosemary's death on the 25th.
Of course we are deeply sorry for your loss.
We attended a Mass for Rosemary last week
at Maryheart. We didn't connect the Mass with her death.
Rosemary was a good friend. We worked together with Birthright, the Meriden
Council of Catholic Women and frequent
attendance at Maryheart. We have been praying for her for years since she moved to the Cape and initially became ill.
We will continue to pray for her and to
her. God bless you all in your time of grief.

Dear Drs Patrick and Eileen
-and with condolences to the rest of your beautiful family-
As you both know, there is no greater privilege than to be entrusted with the health, welfare, and care of another life! I was blessed to know Rosemary as a loving wife, mother, grandmother and patient. Her life has enriched mine, and many others-I am sure! I am sorry that she has left this world-and all of us-but grateful that she touched so many! You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Dr. O'Regan : Sorry about your wife's passing. Glad you had many years together. Lost contact with you. Left Meriden 1981. You delivered my 3 children 50 years ago and I still thank you for the comfort and care I received as I was only 17. Prayers are with you at this sad time.
