Dear Anthony, Kathy, Mark, Paul, and family,
We were very sorry to learn of your Mom's departure from this world. She was such a warm, caring woman who was kind to everyone;her smile would light up an entire day. When I came to St. Matthew School in the early 1970's as a young teacher, she was so welcoming and encouraging. And she continued to be so as a fellow CWL member and parishioner of St. Martin's Church.
Rose's four children are a rich testimony to your dear parents. We wish you strength and hope that your hearts will soon ease as your sorrow turns to gratitude for the wonderful woman you got to call Mom.
I was sorry not to attend Rose's funeral. Tuesday is my day at the Marian Center, and I knew she would want me to be there. I thought of all of you that day.
