Dear Griese Family - Rosemary was more than a cousin to my mom. She was a sister. Your mom and dad were so special. The Kennedy clan is so saddened to hear of her passing. We had a Cousin's party yesterday and toasted to her memory. Your entire family will always be remembered by the Guilfoy girls. I am so sorry I cannot be with you today but know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Rose Mary was one of my dad's favorite people, and mine too. She was a truly lovely human being and I am so proud to have had her in my family. My deepest condolences to you all. I am sorry that I will not be able to attend her funeral today. She is one person that I would have paid my respects to in person because she is deserving of such. Please know that I will be thinking of you all, and I hope that you can all find God's peace in your hearts. The Kennedy family toasted to her yesterday!

Dear Griese Family,
Condolences on your loss. I have many fond memories of times together at the dinner dance club with Rose Mary and Will. I am sure that Lou is already making plans for a similar event up in heaven.

'Just learned of your mom's passing (at the 4 PM Mass at St. Joe yesterday evening Father reminded us to remember her in our prayers.) I am glad to be able to send you a warm message from my family - the Seeles. We have nothing but smiles when we remember your parents! What a fun couple! My parents considered their friendship one of the best things in their lives. They shared some really good times: boat outings, the dance club that morphed into the Golden Gourmet Club, and sing-alongs in our basement. My parents had such a fun group of friends - and really treasured them. This passed to our generation as well - we so enjoyed their company! I can still hear your mom's laugh...

On behalf of the Seele family (Suzie, Jeff, Jenni, Mary) please accept our deepest condolences.

Ellen,
Sorry for your loss! No matter when or how it happens, it's still difficult. I've lost my prayer group person-that always was so sweet of her and her group to pray for me during all my surgeries. It obviously helped because I came through all of them successfully. We all should be so fortunate to have lived as long as she did and to have had such good health until just recently. She wasn't in pain and died peacefully. May God have mercy on her. Your entire family remains in my thoughts and prayers. Take care.
Love, Pam
