I am very sorry for your loss.
RoseMarie was one of our favorite clients for the last several years. I will miss talking to her, our roots were similar having both grown up in the Detroit area (Clawson for me). I take comfort in knowing that she is happy now in Heaven, free from her wheelchair and dialysis. Despite her condition, she was an inspiration to me.
God bless her and her family!

I can still remember how much our family anticipated your arrival back in 1958. You were a wonderful "Christmas present" for our entire family. No many how many years went by, you were always one of the three "little kids". We used to always kid each other about your not getting a middle name while I got two middle names. Our parents were running out of available names by the time you got here. You did get a name that was used in many songs. I can't say that about my name. We will always miss you. Love, Carl, Brian and Wendy.
I probably knew Rosie better than anyone, since I grew up with her and then lived with her off and on (mostly "on") for the last 45 years. A lot of people know her only as someone who spent years in and out of hospitals and nursing homes, which deeply affected her emotional state and how she interacted with the rest of us, but there was a completely different Rosie a long time ago. She was funny, feisty and full of life.
That's the Rosie I want to remember. I hope someday I am able to share stories -- good and bad -- with her kids, the grandkids and the rest of the family who don't mind my long-winded tales, but for now, I'll just say "good night, Mommie Dearest" to Rosie and express my gratitude that her final day found her pain-free and went as well as could be expected for her. Thinking about all the serious health situations Rosie went through over the years, you have to admit, she sure showed resilance !

We had many good conversations over the years, especially when she would quote entire dialogs verbatim from such classic movies as Night Of The Hunter, True Grit, The Oscar, Poseidon Adventure, Billy Jack and many others. She LOVED her Bruce Springsteen music and got to see him several times in concert. One of my favorite photos was one of us taken around 1960 or so on Monica Street in Detroit. I was pointing a toy gun at her ( all in good fun. We were just kids. ) I will MISS you Rosie. Glad for the time we had together. Equally glad you are at peace and no longer in pain. We will keep you in our thoughts.
