Rose Lamb was truly a gem and always a pleasure to be around. We will remember her for her zest for life, smile, kindness and support of her husband and his career as an artist at our gallery. She never missed one of his openings and was always there to happily support him. I always admired Matt, Rose and Sheila for their pioneering project "Lamb Umbrellas for Peace" promoting peace throughout the world.
Our sympathy and thoughts are with you.

Thank you Rose for opening your beautiful homes around the world...Ireland, Paris, Key West, Lincoln Park (my beautiful wedding shower) and Oak Lawn...My God the parties when you were not home! Thanks too for introducing me to the wonderful organization Misericordia. So many memories to cherish.... but what I thank you for most is your wonderful daughter Colleen a beautiful person inside and out and life long friend indeed! I remember your anniversary party and the words you spoke are still so true...."Friends and family are woven into the beautiful fabric of our lives." Spending time with you in your final hours with RoseMarie, Colleen and the "Little Lambs" and "Baby Lambs" was an honor. Love and Prayers to all who will miss you so much, Sharon "Duffy" Pendergast, Bill, Billy and Amy Pendergast
