    My heartfelt condolences to the entire Chernisky family. Rose's 98 years were filled with caring for others—as a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and nurse. What a beautiful legacy of love and service she leaves behind. No matter how many years we have with someone we love, we always wish for more. May you find comfort in the memories you share, the love that surrounds you, and your faith that she is at peace and reunited with Red. Keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers. Jackie Kulback

    Sincere sympathy on the loss of your mom. I won't be able to attend the viewing or take part in the Nightingale Tribute as I will be out of town. Thank you for inviting the Cambria County Nurse Honor Guard to pay tribute to your mother's nuring career. May she rest in peace.
