Ellen, Joel and Jerry:
I was deeply saddened to hear the news of your mother's passing. She was one of those McAvoy family friends who always held an extra special place in my heart not only because of her warmth and humor, but because of her loyalty to those for whom she cared. She was a steadfast friend to our family, and especially to my mother, beginning when we became neighbors so long ago on St. Ives Circle and over the years. When I last saw her in January, she brought the same smile to my face that she has always brought, and that is how I choose to remember her - with a lovely smile and a lovely heart. I know that my sisters share my affection and sentiment - your mom was special to all of us. I feel honored and blessed to have had her as a constant in my family's life over the years - she was a treasure. And, while I think the world is a little less warm without her presence here, I will take comfort in knowing my life is richer for having had her as a part of it. It was no secret how very much she loved all of you and how proud she was of each of you. I hope that you find goodness and grace in her passing and in the love she had for you. Best, Lisa McAvoy

Rose was an inspiration to work
with. She always took time to say hi when she passed by my office and
always used my name in her greeting. Any day I saw her was just a little
bit better.

Ellen and Family, I was so sad
to hear of your mom's passing. I'm so glad I got to see her a couple
months ago. It was a blessing to have been able to know and work with
her over the years. May God give you peace and comfort during this
difficult time. She will be greatly missed.
~ April Thornton, Hayes, Virginia November 07, 2010
Sending my condolences and
prayers to the family and friends of Ms. Rose. I’m truly thankful to
have worked with such a sweet lady.

To Ellen and Family, I will
miss Rose in the neighborhood. She was the sweetest woman. She always
would stop and talk to me when she saw me and ask how I was doing. She
would always talk to me about her grandchildren. She had a smile for
everyone. She will be greatly missed by me. My thoughts and prayers are
with you and your family.
~ Beth Verry, Newport News November 07, 2010
To Ellen and the Family, Rose
will truly be missed by all at Miller's Pond. We began the Miller's Pond

thoughts and spirit. You were truly a dear friend. Ellen we are there
for you and your family in anyway that you need from the support of the
Miller's Pond Family. I truly loved "Rose" A Rose that will always be a
"Rose" November 07, 2010
