Messages of Condolence

  1. Mrs. Root was one of my earliest softball coaches at St. Thomas More in the 60s. Without women like her who volunteered their time, girls at that time would not have had the opportunity to play sports. Thank you Mrs. Root!!!

  2. My sincere condolences to the entire Root family on the loss of your beloved Mother. As painful and difficult as this time is, may you find comfort in the times you shared together. She made me feel like I was part of the family too. I will keep her in my daily prayers. May She Rest In Peace!

  3. My dear Aunt Pinky, we will miss you. The last of the greatest generation in our family will not soon be forgotten. You were such a funny and loving Aunt to us all. I know you are with all your siblings and as my Dad would put it “ the two old blisters are together again”. To my cousins, I wish we were all able to be together and celebrate your Mom’s life. Tom, Lorraine, Mike, Madonna, Rita and Roe I am sending loving thoughts and prayers to you and your families. There will be a time when we will be together again to tell all the stories and remember your Mom as it should be.

  4. My deepest condolences. Mrs. Root marks the end of a wonderful era. May She now rest with her husband Loyd:) Thank you Mr. and Mrs Root for bringing Madonna into our family.

  5. Rita and Rick, our deepest condolences on the loss of Mrs. Root. Sue and my thoughts and prayers are with you and Mrs. Root.
