Thoughts from Rose Marie’s sister, Nadine Wilson:
I would loved to have been able to attend the funeral but cannot because of my health. Rose Marie and all the family are in my thoughts and prayers. Rose Marie was my baby sister and I always had special feelings for her. This morning (February 25th) we had a Mass at the nursing home where I am at. Everyone dedicated their prayers for her. She was much loved. (written by John Wilson from comments Nadine asked to be shared).

To Susan and Rose’s entire family:
Thinking of you with sincere ( belated ) sympathy in the loss of Rose.
In college I remember an art work made by Susan entitled: ” Rose and Stevie at the Bar ” . It was very funny, as Rose and Steve were laughing and having a good time dancing on the bar top of an establishment. Their hands in the air… Rose’s fingertips were made of lipsticks, and Stevie was in the form of a frog. It looked as if the music was playing, and they were having a great time together. A very original and very creative piece, I believe Susan captured their spirits. I wish all of you God’s blessings and peace in the passing of dear Rose … she was a delight !
