Rose made an impact on my life that was unexpected. From the moment I met her she made me feel as I was one of her own children. Her warm friendly smile and Motherly affection was heart felt. I will miss her.

I met Mrs. Rosa Lee many years ago when Mr. Dale was still living. Mr. Dale & my Dad worked together for many years. She was such a sweet lady, she made you feel like an old friend from the first moment of meeting her. May the Lord guide your days, lend you strength, and give you peace as you, her family, goes on without her.

I was a member of ABWA many years ago with Rosa Lee. She was such a lovely, energetic and vivacious lady. May God's Peace be with her family at this time. Always hold close to your heart the beautiful memories.
