Grandma Rosalie Irene Broderick

The Lord has blessed me so much in my life. He gave me grandparents that someone could only dream of. They were beyond my grandparents. They were my best friends.


My grandmother passed away on April 22, 2009. It's a bitter sweet feeling because words can't express how much I miss and love her, but I am so happy for her to be with her true love again. I know she missed my grandpa dearly and was not whole without him by her side. I have always looked up to them. They loved each other through and through.


My grandma was a special lady. She lit up the room with her smile and laugh. I will miss the times we spent together in her kitchen talking and laughing over a "tuna toastwich" and the feel of her soft hand on mine. She was someone I could talk to about anything, who sent me cards on a regular basis telling me she missed and loved me, said words like Zuskini, choirpractor, carn, fark, Sundey., and danced with me in my living room.


I can't say in words how much I love her and how blessed I feel to be her granddaughter. I must have done something right in the pre-existence, and I can't wait for the day that I see her again.


I love you grandma!

The movie is a little long but its pretty amazing...Thanks to my wonderful husband. You're amazing.

I'm so sorry for your loss Karrie! What an awesome video that was, it totally made me think of and miss my grandma. That last song had me tearing up a bit too...
She looked like a beautiful lady and I'm sure she is watching over you now!
