Patrick, Sean, Michael, Kathleen.

I am so sorry to hear that your dear mother passed away in September. I met your mom in Shillong Assam where I was a student teacher in the late 1950s, I also knew your aunt Sister Paula. We became great friends and kept in touch for many years, I even visited your mom in Alberta in the early 60s. We lost touch for a while, but then found each other again exchanging emails at Christmas. It was sad to read online that she had passed. When I did not hear from her this year, I checked online and only just found out. So sorry for your loss. She was so proud of you all and kept me updated on your progress.

On behalf of the Penkala family,Isend our deepest sympathy in prayer to you, the Pinkman family.Years ago,in Saskatchewan,a respectful and loving friendship developed and grew between the O’Flanagan and thePenkala families.To this day we still have fond memories of your Mom ,Rosemarie.She was one wonderful lady!

To the Pinkman family,

We are saddened to hear of Rose’s passing. I remember her warm smile from our days on Silver Brook Drive, and more recently, was always happy to see her at 5 PM mass. Please know we are thinking of you all and pray that happy memories of your wonderful mom will sustain you. Sincerely, The Robichaud Family

Love you Mum. You will be missed more than you can ever imagine. The kids will always treasure the time they spent with you doing simple, everyday things like playing cards, baking sweets OR watching baseball. Everything was always at least twice as much fun at Grandma’s house! Mike & I always marvelled and appreciated how interested you were in the kid’s everyday activities. You thoughtfully inquired about their interests and always encouraged & engaged each child on their level. Your constant love and attention did not go unnoticed. When Brendan tearfully said to you “thank you for being the best Grandma in the world”, he really spoke what was in his heart. You have made so many lasting impressions Mum, it is truly astounding. Rest peacefully Mum and may God bless you now and forever. Love Wendy

Giving our deepest sympathy to all the family on the loss of a very special person,who touched so many lives in such a positive way. May Rosemaire’s gentle soul be with God ( in Gaelic “Ar dheis DE go raibh an anam dhilis).

Met Rosemary once when she called to our house on her way home from India.She entered our young imaginations with her stories of far-off lands and peoples. My mom and herself had great fun figuring out how to wear a sari.

May flights of angels wing her to her rest.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Mrs Pinkman will be so greatly missed. I have many fond memories of our visits.

Thinking of all the family on the sad occasion of the passing of Rosemarie.

Thinking of all of Aunt Roses children and grandchildren at this sad time. Your mom was an amazing woman who always opened her home for warm visits and a pot of tea. She was a great woman who I was so glad to get to know these past few years.

Thinking of you all and remembering my wonderful Aunt Rose. I have been truly blessed to have had her in my life.

Thinking of all of you. Aunt Rose was always so vibrant, thoughtful and caring. May she rest now.

Thank you for the light that you brought to my life.

You’re free.
