Memories and Condolences
for Rose Balogh
May 10, 2012
I did not know Mrs. Balogh had passed away. My deepest sympathy to her family and especially Barb who was a good friend to me in elementary school in Amherst and in High School at Clearview. I remember when Mrs. Balogh did ceramics and she made me a beautiful easter egg and a lovely lady. I stored my jewelry in these for years. I would love to talk to you Barb. If you want to get ahold me call on 440 258-5556. So sorry about your mom. She was beautiful, kind and an extraordinary woman.

My deepest condolences to the entire Balogh family. Rose has been a very special person to me. Even though I had not seen her in many years we stayed in touch. She was the most giving person I have ever met. I will miss her, but I know I will see her again in Heaven someday.

My prayers are with the Balough Family. Mrs. Balough was responsible for me getting my first job at Sears. She always looked out for Clearview students! I have thought of her often over the years.

My heart goes to the Balogh family, I had the pleasure of meeting Rose and she made a lasting impression that I'll never forget. I have never met someone so sweet and kind, she welcomed me into her home and made me feel like family. I'll miss her dearly, and never forget the kindness she showed me.

If roses grow in heaven Lord, then pick a bunch for me, place them in my Grandma's arms and tell her they're from me. Tell her that I love and miss her, and when she turns to smile, place a kiss on her cheek and hold her for a while.
