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….
