I am so sorry to hear this. Rose and I were roommates in nursing school and I can remember the many trips we made on foot down to 27th or was it 29th street. Prayers for the family.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Rose was a wonderful lady, and will be missed. Praying for you family.
So very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the entire Henry family. Our deepest condolences
So sorry to hear Rosemarie passed. My father was Walter Alfred Schaffer, brother to Alma. So sad our family never knew one another. I met Joe Erbacher and Sue when I shopped at the lower market many years ago.
Mrs. Henry was an exceptional individual. She loved her husband, her family, her faith and her nursing career with everything she was. I learned a lot about life and what it meant to take care of people in the time that i worked with her and it was an education that became invaluable. I know that she is now happily back with Herk, the love of her life. My sincerest condolences to the family.
So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort with family and memories of good times. Prayers for all.
May God be with all of you during this difficult time. Having taught so many of her grandchildren, I feel like I know the family. Please know that I am praying for you.
Be assured of my playful sympathy. May she rest in peace.
Judy and all of the Henry family, our thoughts and prayers for all of you in this time of great loss. so sorry of your loss Jerry and Janet Nixon
