To all the famiy; Rose was very special to me as is Angie. They were inseperable and Angie is going to be so lost. Those two would fight and all I could do is laugh. I enjoyed waiting on those two so much..May Rose have a place waiting in heaven for her. I sure will miss her. Take good care of Angie. If there is any-thing I can do please let me know. Thinking of the whole family and praying that you find comfort in your loss
I miss you so much aunt rose. I miss our bowling on new years eve and our countless bingo nights. It was these times when I really got to see my aunts together and I will always cherish that. I love you so much.
To my family. You know how much you all mean to me and would never want to lose any of you but we have lost one of our greatest gifts God could have given us. Aunt Rose was always there to help, whether it was needed or not. She was a loving, kind and generous person. She will be forever in my heart with the love that she shared for all of us and ours for her. I Love you Aunt Rose.
To Martha and Margie You have my deepest sympathy This comes with deeper sympathy Than words could ever say, To let you know that many thoughts Are there with you today.
Aunt Rose We love you and will miss you forever. The Patrick and Cody said Christmas was really different this year and we all realized we don’t appreciate our time together until it’s not there. You are one special lady who we had the honor to love and share our lives with. We believe you are in a better place and God has plans for you. Please watch over us because we know you were always one of God’s angels. Love, Patti, Ronnie, Bryan, Patrick & Cody
