  • Thank you Rosie for all your teachings and love! I will forever be grateful for all those times that I stayed overnight at your place with all the girls, safe and warm! I recall that you and Oliver were one of the first to have a TV in Hollow Water and all the children around the "hood" would all be laying and sitting around in your living room watching Gilligan's Island!! :) The many trips to the beach in Black River with a bus full of happy parents and children too were always a blast! I can just picture all the smiles and laughter with all the loved ones gone before you! Heaven has gained another beautiful Angel, without a shadow of a doubt! <3 - Posted by: Kathy Bjork () on: May 08, 2014

  • To Rosie, I'll always remember you for your kindness, humour and love for others. My brother Barry was reminiscing about when we would go on school trips and how you always came with us; your husband was the school bus driver and you were the navigator! Rest in Paradise, Roselyn. <3 Love, from Phyllis, Roy & family - Posted by: Phyllis Contois () on: May 07, 2014

  • I will always remember Rosie's friendly and welcoming nature. She was quick to laugh and to share her humour, not one day went by when I didn't share a laugh with her at the school. She would often hit my arm and say "tagaa" I will miss her presence at the school. To the family and numerous friends please know you will be remembered in our prayers and we as a community will feel the loss for years to come. May you rest in peace my dear friend, until we meet again. Ed & Madelain - Posted by: Ed & Madelain Neveau (Co-Worker & Friend) on: May 07, 2014
