I worked with Rose many years at the Mesa Motorola Plant. She and Donna were always laughing about something. Rose was always an outgoing person and full of life. I can still see here in my memories. Bye Rose.

Words can not describe the pain I feel losing my second mom!!!! I have such fond memories of my time w/ "mama Rose"...When I was young we would spend the night at her house to hang out w/ Elena, but I would always cry when "mama Rose" left because I wanted her to stay, Mike took her out on date. I am devesated as I am sure everyone who had the great pleasure to know Rose is as well. I will always love and cherish every moment I shared w/ Rose. My heart goes out to my loved ones; Mike (my big teddy bear), Elena (my sister), and Johnny (my little guy). I love you Petermans!!!!!!! Heather Pike

I've know Rose since 1975 when I met her at Julie's house after I meet Ed (Julie's brother) my husband. Rose was and always will be remembered by me and my family as a beautiful person both inside and out. She was a loving mother, a great and loyal friend and I will miss her terribly. I did not see as much of Rose as I would have liked to in the past couple of years but each time was a renewal of our friendship. She was always there when I or anyone else needed her and I know that she is in heaven looking down and keeping a watch on her family and friends. She will be missed lol Lilie Morris and family.

I knew Rose from Mesa; she was a joy to be with. She was proud of her family; I remember her always talking about Elena. Although I haven’t seen Rose for a long time. I thought of her often. A pal to work with and share. My prayers are for the family.

I will miss you my friend. All the calls we shared trying to fight and conquer this disease. My heart goes out to Mike, Elena and John. So many fond memories of sitting out on the patio at the Mesa plant. You always had funny stories to tell. You will be missed by all that knew and loved you. Jeanne Cook
