"Thank you for sharing such an intimate and precious story with us. Your Mother’s departure sounds as lovely, gracious and purposeful as her presence must have been. We know that she was truly a Lady in the sense that was once so valued but increasingly lost to us. We are so grateful that you are completely surrounded by love and care. We are there with you in Spirit. Nina"

"What a beautiful tribute to Rose. It's lovely to hear again how much pleasure she gleaned from her time in Mexico and what a peaceful passing she experienced. She is very fortunate to have had you as such a loving, caring and attentive son. Rhema"

"Thank you Rose. Raya is nine years old and can immediately tell that Chandra’s face looks different. She wraps her arms around me and I tell her about how Rose got pneumonia while in Mexico and died early that morning. “Dad needs a moment to let it sink in” I say. She nods and adds. “She lived for a very long time”. We talk about this for a long time, how incredibly lucky she has been to have lived such a long and colourful life, experiencing so much beauty in this world. We talk about Rose’s love for animals and music. We talk about her travels to Mexico in the winter and Regina beach in the summer. We talk about what a strong will and determination Rose had, and how courageous she was – to go on adventures all her life. “She never got to read my card, Raya sighed”. A few weeks before I had sat down with Raya and helped her write her first card ever in English. It was for Rose. Since we were told about how slow Mexican mail was we decided to keep it and send it by mail or show it on Skype on Christmas. Now it was too late. “But it felt really good to write it…it’s so hard to spell sweet in English. We don’t have any double ees and it sounds like an I, but that’s the word I thought of. I think Great Grandma is very, very sweet….and lucky…Raya concluded. Later that day we lit a candle for Sweet grandma Rose and gave thanks for the long life she had lived. We will do so again this afternoon – and be with you all in spirit. Thank you so much Rose, for all you have given to me and our children. And thank you for showing and teaching them all that strength, courage and determination you expressed in so many aspects of your life. We are so grateful to have had you in our life and remember you with a big smile"
