Miss Rose ….How greatly your missed …The best neighbor and friend anyone could ask for…we spent years watching out for each other..cooking for each other..and our special visits hanging out on the porch enjoying watching the hummingbirds. And Bella still watching for her Rose…. xoxo..till we meet again with our Lord Jesus
I haven’t known Rose on a long term basis but as soon as I met her we clicked and knew she was a friend I wouldn’t want to lose. She looked and always acted 1st class and was such a sweet soul and I will always cherish her memory. Much sympathy to her family who she loved dearly.
Michelle, Lisa & family: I am so sorry for your loss…Your Mom was such a classy & nice lady…I know that you all will miss her very much…Until one day, you will meet again…It was obvious that she sure loved her family.
Thank you Rose for touching my life and being such a wonderful, and kind person. I’m blessed that I knew you and someday we will meet again
What a beautiful lady and a great loss. My prayers go out to the family. May God wrap his arms around you and help you through this difficult time. XOXO
