Rosalie

In my mother-in-law's final days, finally I was able to roll her out to the court yard for some fresh air, help to feed her.. Many times she said "Thank you, you are very nice", she even kissed my hand as I was ready to say good-bye. Some people think that she didn't like me at all... That is okay, for as long as she remembered someone was nice to her, without knowing that person was me, is all that matters.

Rosie loved Christmas music whenever we had the gathering in her place for Christmas. She always put on the Christmas music, and of cause her tall Christmas tree. "How can people don't have Christmas tree for the Christmas" she said. Jeff and I enjoyed her Christmas tree very much!

When Jennifer asked what songs to sing in Rosie's funeral mass, my husband Jeff replied: "One idea for a song is I Heard It Through the Grapevine, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Heard_It_Through_the_Grapevine Mom used this song at an event at Lasata." Well, I don't really know about that song. All I can think of is Amazing Grace, On Eagle's Wings, Be Not Afraid, We Will Rise Again and I Know My Redeemer Lives. And of cause my all time favorite "Pie Jesu" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vr6ajtA5Otg ) But what would Rosie like? I know she liked some popular songs.. I searched online and found out that Danny Boy is very popular. I think Rosie would like it. So here it is for Rosie on her own space by Bing Crosby: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2QtBYR7NJs
