Dearest Rose / NannyWords will never do justice to how you touched our lives. Your passing has left a void in our lives that I don't think will ever be able to be filled. You are an incredible woman with an enormous heart full of love and compassion. You always had time for anyone in need, happy to chat about anything and everything and alway there with a kind word, inspiration or advice and a big hug.You were an amazing mother, mother-in- law and Nanny. Your three little treasures (Jack, Mason & Liam) love you so much and they will alway remember their amazing Nanny, the fun food and travel adventures that they had with you , the comforting hugs shared with you and the unconditional love you showed them.The love and support that you showed Chris and I was never ending. In so many ways you were always there for us when when we needed. We could never thank you enough. Thank you for all your love and support, you will never be forgotten.You will be in our hearts and thoughts always and forever. Love forever Crissy, Mat, Jack, Mason & Liam

Dearest mumma,The house is so quiet without you in it, your bed was like you left it, like you were coming home again.Your room smells like you. I see you boiling the kettle, sitting at the kitchen table eating your breakfast and pottering around the house.Words cannot describe the emptiness that now feels my body since you left me. For 41 years we have been together and now I have to figure out how to adult without your constant presence always there when I needed it, even if I thought I didnt.Rest in peace my beautiful mumma, you are a beacon to so many.Please give dad kisses and cuddles from me, Byron and your boys. Until we meet again, mum. I love you

Dearest Rose You hold a special place in my heart one that can never fade. I loved you when you were here and now I will learn to love you in a different way. I may not see you, however when I sit in the silence in my heart and soul I know you are there with me as two souls that are blessed two cross each others path in our journey here on earth is eternal in our being our soul. So my dear friend I feel you in my heart and I hear you in the silence I have a piece of you always when I need your words of wisdom. Know you have blessed so many with your work and I for one have so much gratitude for you opening my door to come home to me. In one of my early sessions you said to me that it was your heart felt vision in your work for each of your patients to feel your presence even when you are not here to help guide them. You succeeded in your vision, as I have you always in my silence, in the presence of the voice the one who took me into the little row boat and fished me fromThe depths of the ocean. The surface is beautiful and I get to gaze up at the night sky and feel blessed toSee the star you are shining down on those you love so very much and moreImportant you loved the most important person! Who you were, you loved Rose.

Rose, my friend, my mentor. Nothing was out of bounds with you. I loved that you humoured me when I went to mediums. If I ever get a connection and message from you, I'll be so thrilled. You are now all knowing, we were still here wondering. Thank you for everything you did for me. Not least, setting me emotionally free. Love you.

Mrs Widuckel/Rose, I never could get used to calling you Rose! Even though you would remind me every time I saw you! You have been such a constant in our lives. Almost 30 years of me wandering in and out of your home first just me, then my husband too and then the kids! You were never surprised to see me there! There was always welcome arms and a how are you, where you truely wanted to know. And you really listened. Growing up I loved your home, loved you family and of course loved you! Thank-you so much for being such a special light. You will be so missed x

I was so sad to hear of Rose's passing. Rose had a presence about her and always welcomed me into her home. I will never forget our discussions on research, the book she gave me before the birth of my first daughter, and how she folded a fitted sheet. What a special lady. My deepest and sincerest condolences to Rose's family. Rest in peace, Rose.
dave harris — 19 September 2023
I met Rose through working for Colbrow in the nineties and became friends, as I am sure many many others did. I was proud to introduce her to my wife and kids when she visited us in Cork Ireland. I struggle to find the words to describe how much Rose meant to me, and I cant believe such an irrepressible inspirational lady has gone. All the best wishes to her family
Bethany Ranes — 18 September 2023
Im absolutely gutted to hear this news about Rose. I only knew her professionally, but she was such a brilliant, bright woman with an obvious passion for helping others. She was such a light and I am honored to have learned from her and to have known her as a colleague. My love goes out to her family.

Annina Camponovo — 18 September 2023
Dear Rosie, you welcomed me into the family with and open heart and arms from day one. You always had solutions ready for all problems and ideas - so many ideas! I often had to chuckle when you were telling us about your adventures (Uhh I'm just driving to Sydney for the weekend), you must be the most adventurous 'Nanny' I know. The unconditional love for your children and their children was so beautiful to see and very special, you are leaving a big hole in so many hearts.I will miss your big smile, rosy cheecks, warm hugs and our Kaffe and Kuchen dates. Rest in peace now dear Rosie. I'm sure you've already made many new friends in heaven!

A note to my Aunt Rose, our Hoey Matriach,Where to begin? A childhood full of memories. And many many of them at Old W. Road. A safe place in hard times. Remaining friends with my Mum. Thank you. Lots of "deep and meaningfuls" and all those cinema trips together through my 20s. Always grateful for the all nighter you gifted us holding our Baby Maeve while we had a night of sleep. The sheepskin gift still by bed that I step onto every morning and think of you. The soft heart cushion that I held for months and organising you did when we lost James. I am grateful for the role you had in my life my aunt. Thank you.

Dearest Rose, why did you do that! you're not supposed to leave so soon. What laughs and giggles we have had since we started core training.

The world is quieter without you :( Love you Rose Hoey xx

Dearest Rose, It is with great sadness that I have learnt of your passing. I had the pleasure of getting to know you through your passion for ISTDP, and especially its application in chronic pain, at various trainings in Melbourne. What a warm, caring, compassionate human you were, who had previously faced health adversity with such grace and tenacity. You will sorely be missed and my condolences go out to your loved ones.

Christina Decker — 12 September 2023
To my darling mumma, you fought so hard until the very end. You were a beacon in the dark and you were my fiercest advocate, all through my life. I feel like an anchorless ship, drifting in the ocean now that you have left this world. I now need to become an anchor in my own right and learn to navigate this world without you in it. Rest in eternal peace now Mumma. I will love you and miss you forever.
