Dear Menefee Family.  Carolyn Heinz is a dear friend of mine. I've heard so many wonderful stories about "Rose" and feel as if I knew her. This poem has brought me great comfort and I hope it brings comfort to you also.
***ALL IS WELL***   
Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I, and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other, that we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference in your tone,
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me and if you want to, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was,
Let it be spoken without effect,
Without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was;
There is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you,
For an interval,
Somewhere very near, just around the corner.
By Canon Henry Scott-Holland 1847-1918

My condolence to Dale for the loss of his dear wife.  This is Dick Ruth, one of your west-side neighborhood and school friends.

Dale and family, Just a note to let you know we are thinking about you and your family.  Eventhough we haven't seen each other for a long time, we still love you and Rose Mary.  All our thoughts and prayers.

Menefee Family,
Your mom was one of the finest human beings that I have ever met. She would always think of others first and herself last. No one could cook short ribs and sour kraut like her. The world is definitely a sadder darker place now that she has passed on. Now we all have the most difficult task of living our lives the way she lived hers. It will not be an easy thing to do but we must try our hardest. Farewell to a classy lady,she will never be forgotten as long as we walk this earth.


Dale, my sincere condolences.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Linda,
Where to start...my heart is aching for all of you.  I have SO many fond memories of your mother.  She was such a sweet and caring person.  The smile behind the curtain on the window of the door on Euclid street always greeted whoever knocked with a warming welcome.  Your mother lived a life of grace and was such a good example to us all.  I remember very well countless occasions of seeing your mother sitting at the table between the kitchen and the front room with her candle lit, saying Novenas.  It didn't matter what was going on, who was in the house, if the t.v. was blaring, she made her time with God.  Your mother truly lived out her faith and is the reason I became Catholic.  I am going to miss her so much.  It's been 3 years since I got to visit with her in person, but that bright smile of hers is going to live on in my heart forever.  I'll be praying for you and the rest of your family often, as we all know this is going to be a very difficult journey.  Whenever you're sad, just know that your mom is right there with you looking out for you, and think of all of the lives she touched.  She's not physically here with us now, but her legacy will last for a long, long, time to come.  Your mother was very dear to me and many others, a beautiful person on the inside and out.

Linda,  I have great memories of your Mom when we used to run around.  My thoughts are with you.

Dana Davis

Mom I love you and miss you so much.  You were the best mom anyone could have.  YOU always took care of me. It is going to be a very difficult time for me living without you.  I promise to continue to live my life the way you taught me. I promise to take care of dad. I will see you again, you were the BEST MOM EVER. I LOVE YOU~LINDA
