I was so saddened to hear of Aunt Rose's passing.She was such a beautiful woman, inside and out. Always a shining example of kindness and caring and how she loved to laugh. May you all find comfort in knowing that someone so special will never be forgotten. My heart and tears are with you.

What I remember most about Aunt Rose was her kindness. She always had a warm smile and patience, even when surrounded by commotion. She is and will be missed

Growing up and spending the holidays with Aunt Rose and Uncle Walt and all the kids were the best memories ever. Our parents always shared such great times together. It was a privilege to be considered a member of the Chakwin Family. Specials times and precious memories I'll cherish always. Deepest sympathy to you all.
