Dear Ellen,
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I have visited OLMLC every Wed for years for Hospice. I knew Rose, but I didn’t know she was your mother. She was a loving, thoughtful person and made others happy with her ready smile. She loved to join in during the “Sing Along Time.”
It was good to see your children’s names and I see they are married. I hope they are well and happy.
I’m sorry I wasn’t able to be with you for Rose’s services.
Love and prayers,
Sister Mary Frederick
