    "Oh Garry, Rose was such a gal and an inspiration for others including myself! She had such spunk and joie de vivre and although small in frame she was grand in character. You will miss her immensely and I'm wishing you wonderful memories to soften the edges of your sorrow and to keep tucked away in the folds of your heart. You gave the beautiful gift of travelling the final leg of her Earth's journey with her, providing comfort and allowing her to slip away knowing she was deeply loved. Hope you can feel the love and hugs tucked into this email"

    "Thanks Garry, and thanks to your mom for raising you - she is blessed and conferred blessings. How sweet for her to be able to transition in such a great way, in her beloved Mexico surrounded by love, attended by you. I know how you feel to have had the honour of being present for the passing of your parent. It is one of life's treasures for sure, and so much (to me) like being present at a birth. A mystery. lots of love - lots of hugs Deb"
