I can’t imagine what all my cousins are going through. I am so sorry for the loss of both your parents in such a short time. I know they are together again. What a wonderful life together they had!
I kept thinking it was so sad for all Mike and Rosemary’s children and grand children to lose their beloved Parents and Grand Parents so close in time. And then I thought of God and his great love for all of us. Only He knew what was best for that family. They were such fun people to Square Dance with, for so many years that I have known them. There are many Dudes N Dolls up there with our Almighty and Best Caller. Now they can dance to a new tune. Love to all of their family. What a blessing for them to be together once again, and no pain anymore.
Love, Betty
My deepest sympathy for my cousins.May your fond memories of your parents, comfort you. I will always remember Aunt Rosemary’s smile, her love for her family and those amazing cheesecakes.
