It's hard to believe that so many years have passed since Rosie, Brenda & the rest of the Suffolk Square kids were so young & didn't have a care in the world. Thru the years we would lose touch & then our lives would intertwine again. There are season in our life & my most memorable times together with Rose, were when a group of us would meet at Rosie's house for weekly Bible studies. Those were good days & special times!
John & I send our sincere condolences to Brenda & Rose's entire family. As the poem below explains, sometimes there are no words to express our sorrow for your loss.
"When Word's Won't Do" When tragedy comes overwhelmingly, wounding your hearts to the core leaving more questions than answers, sorrows as never before. Our words do not bring any comfort, your hearts are to numb to hear; how can you face tomorrow when the loss of a love one so dear? Yet through the pain and emptiness, a precious thought is born; Weeping endures through the night, "But Joy cometh at morn". So were asking the One who holds tomorrow to shelter you neath His wing; Give your broken hearts that comfort, that ONLY HIS presence can bring. Remember you are in our hearts, thoughts & prayers. We are trusting God our Father, for those thing we "Just Cannot Do"
Love, Sue & John Walsh

To My Dearest Mom "Rosie",
Mom, that is what I always called you since you had told me that I was "your daughter and not your daughter-in-law." I will remember how good you were to me from the start and to the end. I can still remember dying your hair blond in the apartment and all the long talks we had. You always made me feel comfortable in and outside of your home. We could always talk and you could always understand. I thank you for everything you have given to me in life and your kindness. I truly loved you and always will. You were truly mom and not just my mother-in-law. May you rest in peace in God's light and I will look forward to seeing you again.
I Love You!
Tracey

To My Auntie Rosie,
I want to thank you for taking care of me, advocating for me, and for being the first person to give me unconditional love. When I needed you, you took me into your home, even though you were a single parent raising Ronnie and Richie.
Every memory I have of you is filled with love, and I will always remember the understanding I received when I looked into your pretty blue eyes. Thank you for reaching out to me when I transitioned through the foster care system, and for being a part of my College Graduation Commencement.
I am glad you were able to find resolution and peace during the middle phase of your life, when you welcomed your peers and Auntie Brenda to participate in your Home Bible Study Classes.
During the last phase of your life, your siblings and children took tender care of you; for all of your medical, financial,and final resting arrangements. Your children - Ronnie, Richie, and Michelle, whom you always told me you were proud of; traveled from out of state to care for you. While your beloved siblings devoted their time and prayers to you: Arlene - your older sister and our family matriarch. Greg - your supportive brother, and Brenda - your baby sister and loyal friend.
Rosie, I don't think you realized how deeply you touched all of our lives. Thank you for being a part of our Journey, and may you Rest Peacefully. I Will Not Forget You, for I Shall Carry You With Me. You will always have my Gratitude, Respect, and Love.
Your Niece, Marie

In Loving Memory of Rosemary Benson
Oh how I remember thee, As a child in the glee of a close memory, you give to many as we stand with thee. You always worried about everyone's past but never took care of yourself within your grasp. You did indeed have a gift of right even though you did not always find it in your nights. In all of your wonderful days you found a way to make it thru the evil that laid in you site, as you knew the day will come that he would gather you to his light. You have really shown us what true love is about, as we gather around to rejoice in your decent into the heavens, as we have no doubt. You have a soul that is all but good, wishing we all could par take in such a wonderful new brotherhood. For he the everlasting has taken one more, from our angels of heaven once again from our own back door. I shall meet you again, as I known we will come together in the end. I always love you with all of my heart, wishing I had more time to share it with you, as I did from the very start. Well I will embrace you once again as we will surely see each other in heaven in a time of the never end. All our Love, forever!!! We Love You!!!
Your family from afar, you were always close in our hearts. Yours forever!!!!!! Love Ron, Tracey, Danielle, and Chris

Dear Aunty Rosie, I miss and love you so much... When I think of you, I think of your beautiful home and all the decorations on all of the holidays! You were always so particular in everything that you did. You always reminded me of my mother, you have the same face and the same voice, just darker hair! Every time we used to talk, I always thought of my mother and it was a nice feeling! I will miss those times. I love you with all my heart! Tell my mother that I love and miss her too and will one day meet up with the both of you! Love your neice, Nancy
