Dear Cotter Family,
I am truly sorry that my cousin, Rosemary has passed. I wish I could have known her better then I did. I do know that she was a selfless person whose face lit up when she spoke of her children and husband. I will miss exchanging Christmas cards and seeing her beautiful face at the Saint Rocco feast. Love to you sweet cousin.

Dearest Chris - I know how much your mother loved you and how you were the best daughter to her that any mother could have. The love between you can never end; it will sustain you throughout your life until you see her again.
Be comforted to know that for those who die in the Grace of God, there is never a goodbye. She is safe and happy and very much with you. Love from McKenna.
