Dear Kathy,
I am so sorry for your loss, Your parents and my parents had wonderful times together. They were such good friends. I remember taking Your Mom & My Mom to the masses at Holy Sepulchre, for loved ones, who had passed away, and then we would go out to breakfast. your Mom really enjoyed it. Your mom was such a good person, I was glad that, I was able to do that, for the both of them.
You are all in our thoughts and Prayers.
Love,

Kathy, Rick and families, In time your pain will be overcome by the fond memories you have of Rose. She was a good person and I remember her laugh most of all. She loved to hear my animal stories and often told me that I should write a book.
God Bless.
