I am so saddened to hear of your mother’s passing. I had the pleasure of sharing in a walk with her last summer near her home. She was quick to say how she loved her sons and their families and how proud she was of all of you. She was a very special lady. May God comfort you during this most difficult time.

I was so sad to hear about your mothers passing. Our family has such wonderful memories of both your mom and dad. Your mom was truly an amazing woman. After our mom died she made us feel loved when she would talk with us. She would invite us into the house to visit. I have to admit, I thought she just might live forever. She was always so healthy and strong. May God bless your family. If there is an alley in heaven the two Roses, your mom and ours are standing there talking and laughing like the old days.
