Rosie, you are one special person. Frank and I were glad to know you if only for a short time. Your hugs and kisses after Mass always made me feel so good and your smile lit up everything? May Delores, Donna ,Ron and the rest of your family find comfort in the Lord .We miss you and pray for you.

Rosie touched so many lives, and in each of those lives her memory and the lessons each learned live on. To Donna and to all in the remarkable Anthony family, Fred and I send our deepest sympathy. I am sure Rosie will be just as busy in heaven as she was on earth, advocating for all in need.

Sister was my 8 th grade teacher and principal of St. Peter's school in Lewiston at the time. That year president Kennedy was asassinated. Sister led us all through that historic moment and taught us to pray and forgive. The world will miss her guidance.

I only had the opportunity to be with Sister Rosie a few times, but every time I saw her or talked to her she gave off a heavenly present. She was so kind and just a delight to be around. May her soul and all of the Faithfully departed rest in peace.

You have my deepest sympathy for the passing of Sister Rosie. She was an amazing woman, helping out in our office while she was on vacation visiting her dear friend (my boss) Linda Sisson. Sister even hung tough during our festival - staying by Linda and enduring a couple of 14 hour days back to back. We should all be so blessed to have her heart and her stamina. She will be deeply missed.
Expression of Sympathy
