Thinking of you in the loss of your loved one with the sympathy and understanding that words can't express.
Our Deepest Sympathy to all the family on the loss of your Mother, she was such a wonderful, talented and loving person. Rose will be missed by all. Our Lord looked down from Heaven, seen his child in pain. " Suffer no more my child, for your job here is done." He opened his hands so gently and quickly carried her home. Oh, how hearts are broken. So sad for all left behind. But when your memories come flowing she will be right there with you. Maybe you will feel her presence on a warm and sunny day or her throwing you kisses down from a twinkling star .. A warm hand on your body, you thought you felt last night. Know she could never leave you completely for all dwelled deep with in her heart. She will be there when you call upon her, just out of sight. So all band together now because that is what Mom would want and show each other compassion, love and strength. Sorry we can not be there with you all today. Sending our love and prayers to all. Cousins Henry and Olivia.
No words can express the sorrow one has when someone they love passes. Thinking of you at this time with the loss of your mom. Remember is she happy now with your dad and her family.
Sorry for the loss of your Mom. Remembering our cousin Rosie and her family in our prayers.
