There are countless ways I could describe how thoughtful, caring and kind Rose was as a person. I knew her best from my childhood. She has made a lasting impression in my mind and on my heart. I know of the love she had, and will have eternally, for her children. Also, the love she shared with Neil was very present, when I had the opportunity to stop in, at their home, last fall. Rose admitted, “you don’t look the same.” It had been probably 30 years since we had last seen each other. Then, and forever more, she will always be the beautiful, thoughtful, caring and kind Rose I knew and will remember for a long time to come. Love, strength and support, from me to each of you!
