My thoughts and prayers are with Rose's entire family. She was a very special lady. Known and loved by many, she touched us all. I am blessed to have known her, worked with her and shared the same lovely neighborhood. "Hollywood" will not be the same without her. My family will definitely miss her, we wish all the family our best. God Bless.

My prayers are with the Lewis family. Rose will be missed by many who also had long lives at State Farm. She was perfect as activity advisor and made each event a party. The name "Rose Lewis" was familiar to claims, agents, body shops, tow companies, police, and fire companies. God has called home a winner.

Thirty-three years ago this month, Rose took me under her wing determined to teach claims to me. She did much more than that. She was like a mother and a best friend. Stories about Rose are endless and they will be forever told and remembered. Rest in peace, dear Rose. You were much loved on Earth and are an added jewel in Heaven. May God grant you eternal rest.
