Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Hannah & Family, I’m sending you my deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother. I’ve heard so many loving stories of this very talented woman. May God Bless you all during this difficult time.
Dear Hannah and Rich, My deepest sympathy on the passing of your beloved mother and mother-in-law. Be assured of my prayers for her as well as for you and the Maupin family. May she rest in peace,
Rosie was a marvelous and prolific needleworker. Her sewing machine whirred, her knitting needles clicked, her rug hooker hooked, and her pin cushions smiled, as she clothed us, carpeted us, and kept us all warm and inspired with breath-takingly beautiful quilts. Thanks ever so much, Rosie.
Hannah, Jane, Trish and families– So sorry to hear about Rosie. I have many fond memoies of her and spending overnights at your house. She was a special woman. I can still picture her sewing room in Burrton. May her memory be a blessing.
Your mother was a dear woman who help me through the loss of my mother. She was a wonderful quilting friend and I always looked forward to our quilt outings when I was in town. I am sorry to hear of her passing and will miss her. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of sorrow. As you remember her love and mourn her loss, may you also celebrate her life.
Many blessings Aunt Rosie. It was a joy and honor to be a part of the greater family you helped create for us. Thank you for everything.
Rosie was a great inspiration to anyone who knew her. We were lucky to have known her – Blessings to you all. ~The Hajeks
