To family of Rosé Martin. "The Lord himself will come down from heaven. There will be a loud command with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God. And those who are still alive at that time will be gathered up with them. We will be taken up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And we will be with The Lord forever. (1 Thess 4:16, 17)

The world needs more good women & men to step forward to fix and help children & families.

Sweet, Sweet Rose- I have always admired your ability to see beyond what others never could see----there just are no words to describe the women you were---I remember eating with my son at Olive Garden one day and saw you and your son----when the waitress brought my check she said you had already paid for it-----you taught me a lot that day.
To her family and close friends---I don't have to tell you what you've lost--but I know you know what you had.
What a loss to the community, her friends, and especially her family.
