Mom,Vi,Yoli,Rita & the children of precious sweet Rose(Cheepo),
My heart goes out to you and as the days pass may your love for Rose carry you through your grief, and your memories bring you comfort. I will deeply cherish my memories..especially the ones over the years, the phone calls, and surprise visits. There is no bond as great as that between a parent and a child, tho her time here on earth is through, her time with Nicole has just begun. There's a new Angel around us, God rest her soul. PS.Rose say hi to my mom and Dena.
Luv u Gurl!

I am very saddened by her passing.
