In Loving Memory of our Sweet & Gentle Rose
Beloved Mother and Wife
RoseMary Karetka ~~ March 16, 2004
Her kisses we shall remember
For all the days we live.
Soft, sweet and gentle
Like the velvet petals of a Rose.

Though she is not here with us
We will see her every day.
We will feel her touch so softly
She will never be far away.

As we go about our day
She will be showing us the way.
We will feel the velvet softness
of her love.

Forever her memory will be
A soft caress against our hearts,

For she is
Our sweet and gentle Rose.....

With all my love, Gail
To Mom, our Rose...
It has taken me a very long time to do this page for Mom, each time I tried I would cry and cry, which I am doing right now. I have finally decided to do this no matter what. Mom was the glue that kept the family together.

If you knew her you would automatically love her, she was the most sweet and gentle person I have ever had the honor to know. Now don't get me wrong she could be "grumpy" but in some ways it was done with so much grace you weren't too sure she was upset.

She was an awesome cook and always trying her experiments with meals and desserts on us. I do so miss that. I miss our shopping trips filled with giggles and laughter.

I know she is in a better place and watching over us but that does not seem to ease the pain that is left
behind in our hearts. 

Mom, we miss you, love you and will see you again when our time is due. You better save us the best seats in the house....
