Dear Donald and family,
Cousin Maggie Clark sent myself and my sisters the information about Rose’s passing and I wanted to express my sympathies to you all. The family has scattered and grown over the years and it had been many years since the last time I saw Rose and Donald. Rose’s Dad and my dad Eddie Lee were brothers and I am Ed’s youngest son.
Please accept the thoughts and prayers of myself and my 2 sisters Geri Bell and Nancy Bradford who are both in Florida at this time and know you all have our deepest sympathies.

Dear Donald and Family,
I offer my deepest condolences and sympathy to all of you on the passing of Rose. Although I have not seen Rose in many years, I fondly remember her at various family gatherings. I too remember Rose and Donald stopping at my house in Stamford, CT to visit my Mother, Marion Lee Clark, who was Rose’s Father’s sister.
I will remember Rose as a warm and pleasant person. I am happy we were cousins in the Lee Family.
God Bless Rose and may God watch over her family.
Love,
Cousin Maggie Clark

Dear Fuzzy & Family, I hold my memories dear, of growing up with you all on Beech Street and the times we spent at the Berkshires. Rosey was the best; a very special lady, I will always remember her kindness & sense of humor!
Love, John McWilliam & Family

Fuzzy, Emily, and family,
I am sorry to hear about Rose. Ma would have been quite upset to hear as well as she also spoke so warmly of the times we shared on State Street. Family folklore has Rose saying she wanted to be active when she got older just like Rita was. I am surprised to see that they were only 9-10 years apart in age. Our best to you during this difficult time.

To the Foisy Family–I know this is a very late message, but I only recently learned of Rose’s passing when my sister Linda and I went to your former home on Beech Street, while we were in Connecticut for my Dad’s memorial service. Today, I decided to look for Gail on Facebook or Linked In, and saw the obituary.
Rose was my babysitter for so many years when we lived on Senexet Road, and I am quite sure that I grew up to be a good adult, largely through the time I spent under her care and with the influences of your wonderful family.
I was extremely surprised and saddened to learn of Doug and Denise’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
