To Paul, Marie and family, My prayers and sympathy are with you all. Rose Margaret is in my memory as a devoted student at Sacred Heart Academy. She was always so nice to us "underclass students".

Dear Paul, Marie, and family, 
My students and I are remembering Rose Margaret in our daily Rosary this week, I wish I  would have learned of her illness sooner, to get in touch with her sooner, but I am remembering her now.  I was able to see her not too long ago at Alice’s Restaurant and talk with her.  It was a pleasure doing so after all the years that had slipped by.  She brought me up to date on all of the Sauer family – it was  a great visit.
Love and prayers,  Donna Kaylor
