Dear Lynne, Judy, Lori and family, I’m so sorry for your loss. I have so many great memories of your mom! I will share a few:
-I loved coming over and enjoying her delicious meals; especially her meatloaf and special potatoes.
-She taught me how to make Italian green bean casserole.
-I can still picture her singing and dancing to “Love grows where my Rosemary goes”.
-She came over to convince my parents to let me go the the senior ball.
-The house was always spotless; no matter what time of day it was.
-Her hands were always well manicured.
-Spending special occasions together.
Ro not only treated me like a daughter; but her care and kindness extended to my whole family! Since my parents didn’t know the English language very well, there we countless times she helped them navigate through situations and always gave them encouragement!
May your memories and our Lord’s peace comfort you during this difficult time. Love you!
May “the God of all comfort” draw close to you and give you the strength you need each day. (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4, NWT) And may the promise that Jehovah will soon “wipe out every tear from their eyes” bring you a measure of peace and hope. (Revelation 21:4, NWT)
My deepest condolences to the Salerno family in the loss of their Mother and Grandmother, may all your beautiful memories of her comfort you now during this difficult time. Sending prayers and hugs.
I lost both of my grandmothers long ago but found another in Grandma Ro when my husband Tod and I moved to Rochester.
She was everything a grandmother should be. Kind. Caring. Loving. It did not matter that I wasn’t a blood relative. She adopted me as one of her own.
She also wasn’t afraid to put me in my place. She would tease me with an exaggerated look of surprise on her face that said, “Karen, you know better!”
It broke my heart to see dementia diminish her charm and wit. She took a journey similar to my own dear mother, who developed Alzheimers. It was so sad to visit her at the nursing home but I could usually elicit a smile by bringing chocolate. It was also inspiring to see the way her family continue to care for her as a tremendous team with continuous visitations, endless calls to the nursing home and family meetings on the next level of treatment.
I will miss Grandma Ro but know in my heart that she is free with Jesus in heaven. She leaves a wonderful legacy in her children, grandkids and great grandkids.
I pray to God that Grandma Ro rests in peace. If she has time, though, I hope she’s able to meet Grandmas Magnuson and Smith. I think they would enjoy her company as much as I did.
