I am so sorry to hear of Rosie's passing, a light sure has left our organization of Christ Child. But heaven will forever sparkle because she is there. God bless all of you, I am out of town then and will not be able to attend. My thoughts are with you though.

Rosie was a delightful person! I have known her for many years, mostly at the bridge table, where we shared good cards and good times. I will always remember her cheerful personality and great laugh. Everyone who knew her will miss her.

To Rosie's Family,
I was saddened to learn of Rosie's passing. You forgot to mention one of her most important accomplishments. She was a Past President of the Christ Child Society, and was always ready to offer insights and suggestions to help this organization continue to thrive. I did so enjoy working with her to help God's most vulnerable children. She will be sorely missed. Teddi Murray

Dear Shafer family: Eddie, your mom was always a highlight when Tom, Jeremiah, Cassandra Hay and I visited Grainger - such a vibrant, good-natured and fun-loving woman who clearly loved her family and made them the center of her life. I send my sincere condolences on her passing, and hope that you all will be able to remember the specialness of her contributions to so many lives, the smiles and laughs she evoked and shared! My best, Kim McCann (NYC)
