I want you all to know how much I loved Aunt Rosy. She was a very strong woman that gave lots of love and support to others. She made my mother, Mary, feel very special and important and was of great comfort to her before she passed in 2003. I have had the wonderful opportunity of getting to know Aunt Rosy through a few visits and through email since then. She spoke of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren often with love and pride. I am very saddened to hear of her passing. I hope this message finds you with peace and love.

I first met Rosemary several years ago when I moved to Fairington. We did not live in the same building but when I found out she had a computer we were linked together forever. I shall miss her very much.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
