REYES, Rosalinda "Rosie"
With great sadness the family announces the loss of Rosie after a tragic vehicle accident in Bontoc, Philippines on Friday, February 7, 2014 in her 71st year. Dearly beloved wife of the late Peter Schuelter. Dear sister of the late Nilda Ortuoste, Rubi Marcinkowski, Kitty Patulot (Tony), Jorge Reyes Jr. (Teresita), Jinky Estonilo (late Amante), Cherry Simpson and Joey Reyes. Special Aunt and Great-Aunt to many nieces and nephews in Canada, the Philippines and the United States and dear friend to so many. Memorial visitation will be held at OSHAWA FUNERAL HOME, 847 King Street West (905-721-1234) on Friday, March 14, 2014 from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. A Memorial Funeral Mass will be held at HOLY FAMILY CATHOLIC CHURCH, 91 Ribblesdale Drive, Whitby, on Saturday, March 15, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. Interment to follow at Resurrection Cemetery, Whitby.

When I am gone, release me. Let me go. I have so many things to see and do. You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears. Be happy that we had so many beautiful years. I gave to you my love. You can only guess how much you gave to me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown, but now it's time I traveled on alone. So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must. Then let your grief be comforted by trust. It's only for a while that we must part, so bless the memories within your heart. I won't be far away, for life goes on. So if you need me, call and I will come. Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near. And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear all my love around you soft and clear. And then, when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile and say welcome home...

I worked with Rosie at Whitby Mental Health Centre and we became friends. We had many good times together. She always had a smile and was such a lovely person. She was upbeat and fun to be around. So very sorry for your loss.

So sorry for the family's loss. I knew Rose through my grandmother Ida and knew Rose had moved back to the Philippines. I have often wondered what became of her over the years. My grandmother passed away almost 2 years ago and my first thought was of Rose and all the fun we used to have.. RIP Rose...
