Rose, Love and Prayers are with you. Now you are safe in the arms of your loving family memebers who have gone before us. You are missed already.
Love you, Tommy
Rose was one of the warmest, kindest, upbeat person I know. She always had a smile on her face and a giggle in her voice. She was a true friend to me. We lost touch for awhile when I moved away but reconnected a few years ago. It was like ole times again. I will surely miss her.
Rose was a wonderful lady. So strong, caring, and compassionate. When she was married to my father, we had some really good times. Playing cards, games, even just hanging out was a joy when Rose was around. She may be in heaven now, but she will always be with us. She is with her son now, and i’m sure she is very happy to see him again. Hopefully she sees my Dad and hugs him for me. You were a powerful woman Rose, and you will be missed by a lot of people.
Terri & Family — Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Your Mom was soo much fun — I just loved being around her. Her genuine smile and bubbly personality was a joy.
This is my grandma… gosh grams i love you so much you went to fast but your with daddy now tell him i love him!! love you
