Lori and family. I am so sorry to learn of the passing of your Mom and was disappointed to learn that the service was held yesterday when I was out of the country. I would have wanted to give you, and your siblings, a big hug and express my condolences personally. It is painful to lose a parent, and I know you lost your father last summer. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you struggle to come to terms with the loss of your beloved mother. I have fond memories of visiting your Mom and Dad when you and I were either on our way out, or coming back, from one of our little adventures, with your Mom protectively probing for details. Even though your parents moved years ago, to this day I look at the veranda on Euclid Street expecting to see your Mom sitting there or tending to her gardens. She will be missed.

I am was blessed to have Rose as my Mother-in- law. She was always there for John, Brayden and I and loved spending time with us. There are so many fun memories I have but my most favourite were card nights, hockey games, Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter with the family, bbq’s on the patio and finally the trailer.
I learned so many things about life from Rose. Here are two of the most important lessons I learned. The first is family is first and she proved it every day with the love she gave to us. The second is faith and to put your trust in God.
I can honestly say I was blessed to have Rose in my life. I loved her so much and I miss her. I wish all the Grosjean’s and Bulger’s peace and to remember the good times with Rose. She will be missed.

To the family of Rose Grosjean we offer our deepest condolences. We were so saddened to hear of the passing of Rose! We were so blessed to have known Rose (and Jack) and will miss them both so very much! We have many memories of Rose (and Jack), especially when we would all meet at Brayden's hockey games. If I am not mistaken, Rose played hockey in her youth. so often we would catch Rose coaching from the stand! She was hilarious! We cheered and laughed and got to know them a little better. They always were so supportive! Those were fun times! We are also glad when we were all together at the trailer park at Cameron Lake. I know how much they liked being there! Crosswords, casinos, puzzles and books were what she liked to do in quiet times. We will remember those good years! Rose always had a beautiful smile for you and Jack was such a joker! This is how we will remember them. Family was so important to them and having them visit for birthdays, barbecues, and special holidays or just dropping in, was what they looked forward to!! You can see their love for all of you in your pictures! Lori, Kathy & John they were so proud of you, and their grandchildren & their first great-grand child! Your greatest gift to them! We hope you will have many more pictures and memories to carry in your heart! We have missed seeing them the last couple of years very much, but have thought of them so often! May God give you strength and comfort. Rose your life was a Blessing, Your Memory a Treasure, You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.

We have a lot of special memories of times spent with Aunt Rosemary and the Grosjean family. She was always so welcoming, gracious, and fun-loving!
We wish we could be at the service on Saturday but will be thinking of all of you as you honor her life! Hugs, Dan & Sue

Lori and Steve.
I am sooooo sorry for your loss. Words can't express the void that is left when someone near and dear leaves us. Just bring up the many memories that have been stored in the back of your mind and let yourself laugh and cry remembering your beautiful mother. She will always be in your heart.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
