I remember the very first time that I met Rose. It was in the mid-1980''s and my father and sister had recently moved to Bradford. Rose was a wonderful lady who loved her family with her whole heart! She will be missed by many, but her legacy will certainly live on through her family. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

My deepest condolences. I loved, respected and admired Rose. She was one of a kind. I will miss her. She always gave great advice and didn’t tolerate any nonsense. The times that I spent with her were priceless throughout the years. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to spend that much time with her in the last several years. However, the memories will never be forgotten. I know she was a great wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, friend , and advisor. I’m so sorry for your loss. I will miss her….
