Dear Fraser and Marilyn, Guy and Nancy, Terry and Marilyn, Steve and Cathy, Muriel and Ed, and Mary and Doug: I was very sorry to hear about Aunt Rosie’s passing. I have many fond memories of visits with Aunt Rosie and your family. I remember stopping at Uncle Allan’s and Aunt Rosie’s home in Buchans after summer vacations in Newfoundland as we were heading back to Toronto. Aunt Rosie and Uncle Allan always welcomed us and made sure we were well-fed and rested before heading off to the ferry. There was always lots of delicious Newfoundland food and hospitality to ready us for our travels. I also remember attending Aunt Rosie’s and Uncle Allan’s 50th wedding celebrations in Peterborough, and more recently visiting Aunt Rosie in Goderich when Uncle Allan passed away, and later for a birthday celebration. It was always wonderful to visit and catch up. Aunt Rosie always had a big heart and a positive attitude that shone through in everything she did. She was a wonderful example of God’s love and generosity, and will be missed by all of us.
I know that you and your family have lots of wonderful memories of times you shared together. I hope that those memories will keep your mom close in your hearts, and that the love of your family and friends will give you strength over the weeks and months ahead. God bless.
With love and sincere sympathy,
Betty
