Dear Elizabeth, Michael and Joanna Scaparotti, I was so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother and grandmother. I thought of you all often as she became ill and disabled, so many hard choices to make to provide for her the best you could. Know that you continue in my thoughts as you grieve for the woman you have lost. Sincerely, Rose O’Neil
