Condolences
From: Lori Sakowski-Ryan
Relation: Friend
My deepest condolence on the
loss of such an AMAZING woman and mother. I had the chance to adopt her as a
second mom and enjoyed EVERY minute I got to spend with her when I was
living back home in Lorain. And I keep kicking myself wishing I would have
been better about staying in touch when I moved to Minnesota. Through
walking-times, sleepover-times and Tom&Tim-times, I got to know Rosemary's
true kindness and love for her children and grandchildren. You all were her
world. She was one of the most "true" people I was blessed to know and I
will miss her incredibly. But, now she is free of the physical hardship she
had to bear for years. For goodness sake, she can tend to the roses she
loves so much, sing like the angels and enjoy being with her husband once
again. My thoughts and prayers to all of you in this time of sadness.
Love,
Lori

Dear Carol, Jane, Tom and Paul and family,
My deepest sympathy in the lost of your mother. I've known her for years and
always admired her grace, gentleness, kindness and giving nature. She always
tried to stay positive and deal with her health issues which were many. Your
mother never had an unkind word for anyone. She had such a loving heart. Her
family was everything to her. She loved all of you so much. I'm so very
sorry. God's blessing on your family.
I'll be out of town on Wed. but I will be at the funeral on Thursday.
Love and Peace,
Ellen Endrizal
