Condolence: Dear Mary Lou and Family - I am Mary Marion’s daughter Sue and I wanted you to know how touched I was that your dear Mom made the effort to attend my dear Mom’s Wake just about three weeks ago. Bless her heart. They were Sisters of Charity School of Nursing classmates..boy, those ties sure ran deep! Your Mom was a dear one and that evening (7/30) she looked good, spent a bit of time and then as I walked her out she indicated that she was tired..”ready”. These old gals go when their ready and from my brief encounter with Rose that evening, it seemed as though she was peaceful and very ready, she looked really beautiful, as always. My heart aches along with yours. Onward we go.. Much love to you & yours - Sue

I will always remember Rose’s big heart and what a good friend she was to my mother, specially when it was time for Mom to leave. Rose will always occupy a special place in my memory and heart. Love, Anthony NYC
