Cheers to a Wonderful Mom and Dear Dear Friend, Rosie, who touched our lives for more than 60 years. What a marvelous friendship we shared over those years, watching children enter lives, grow, become educated, leave the nest, return, and extend the family to include beautiful grandchildren. Life really is a blink, and as you get older it passes way too fast, and lives do not become any slower until the final days that certainly must have been very uncomfortable and painful for Rosie, who always was so energized and filled with love and gratitude. Rosie's advice was always like my own mother's, many things are out of our control, and never sweat the small stuff, and always look ahead to better days when one was tough. Loved her cooking, still make her stuffed peppers and clams casino. Loved the days spent in Wayne and Totowa with the Campbells and the Boyles. So many wonderful memories shared and laughed about and certainly a couple of Boyle stories are in my book yet to be published but hopefully this year before Christmas. Rosie will remain in our hearts like her dear husband Dick for the rest of our lives. Know how much we loved, admired and trusted her advice and were enriched and blessed from day one by her kindness, generosity and loving personality. We will meet again, I am sure. God Bless and know how special, dear and important all of her family are to us here on Gananoque Lake where we shared so many special moments. With our deepest condolences, love, prayers and gratitude that Rosie was a huge part of our lives, another mom to us as well. Much love and sincere best wishes as you move through this transition phase of loss and adjustment. Time helps to heal, memories will last your lifetimes, be united and strong as she would hope for and be there for one another as we wish we could be with you at this sad time. Keep in touch, love you all so much, Bob and Cathy and family. Look forward to good days ahead and find your peace as your mom would want.
