"Such sad news, but comforting that you were with her and she died peacefully. Thank you for letting us know. We just got back from Calgary last night (there for Christmas with our son and family). I went over to Mom’s today to tell her. That was hard to do and has deeply saddened Mom and I. At least Mom and Rose had two good visits before she left for Vancouver. Amazing they have been able to remain friends for eighty some years (since grade two they tell me). When I took Rose over to see Mom in late spring they were so happy to see one another and you could definitely feel it in the room. Foreheads together and holding hands. Rose emailed me in December and said how happy she was to be back in Mexico. She certainly loved going to Mexico and seemed to have a great time there. I have many a fond memory of family gatherings with our family and your mom and dad. I was sorry to miss your dad’s Celebration of Life, but we were on holiday in the Maritimes. On behalf of the Fuller Family, I wish to extend our deepest sympathy to you and your family. Take care Garry. Sincerely, Vicki G"

"Dear Garry, I am so upset that your dear mother and my very dearest cousin has died. It was a great blessing that you were with her, able to hold her hand and give her so much care and love. I am thinking of you and the sorrow you must be feeling, but also the joy that that you and so many lovely friends were with her in her last days. Rose was such an amazing person, full of charisma and bucket loads of charm. She had tiny shoes and no one will ever be able to fill them, I know I will miss her deeply. l will never forget our visit to Buckingham Palace to see the exhibition of the Queen's dresses. I asked the palace to provide a wheelchair for Rose, which they did. Wow, did Rose get the VIP treatment, the footmen ushered her through the red rope cordons (the hoi polloi were not allowed through, except me because I was pushing the wheelchair). I think they thought I was a lowly member of Duchess Rose's staff. She was even taken up in the lift to use the palace loo! Things did take a turn for the worse after the tour ended. We visited the gift shop, Rose was so excited by the royal goodies for sale, she rose from the wheelchair and ran around the shop like a three year old. The shop staff were astounded! I had to whisper in her ear that she was in the wheelchair because she couldn't walk far. However, Rose managed to buy a jigger emblazoned with the Queen's crest. Love and big hugs from Helen x x"
