Steve & I have many fond memories of evenings spent with Rose – usually in the company of great friends. Her kindness, attentiveness to every detail in her lovely home, her exceptional cooking skills, wit and gentle sweet nature will be remembered by us forever.

Ray and Sharon

Even after a few days I still find it hard to find the words to express on how we feel.
Your loss has touched us all. Rose always brought a positive outlook on things and a smile no matter what was happening.
Rose’s one request of us was to be there for you. Well I think that you know the answer to that by all of the outpouring of love that you have received. We will be there, any time any place.
Once again Jim, our deepest and sincere condolences to you, Marc and to the so many that feel the loss with you.
Bill & Jean

Dear Jim and Marc:

Just learned of Rose’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with both of you and the rest of the family at this difficult time. Although we didn’t spend much time socializing with Rose, when we were in Home Depot we always loved seeing her and catching up with her. She was a very positive person and had a smile for everyone she encountered.

Hold on to the memories. We know she will always be looking over you both with much love!

Dear Jim
My deepest condolences on the passing of Rose. She was unique, beautiful and loving. I worked with Rose in the early 2000’s, and she always had a funny story!
May you and Marc be comforted in knowing it is not that she is gone, but that she was here, that we cherish.
