Rosine had a pioneer spirit about her and a warm, welcoming way of bringing people into her circle of friends. I knew her through her love of singing and remember her with highest regard. Condolences to the family and please know that Rosine's life touched so many more people than you knew.

It was such a joy to have known Rosine while she was organist at First Congregational Church. One always met an upbeat, positive forward looking woman. She was truly wonderful to work with. My heartfelt condolences to the Drees family.

To the Drees Family:
I first met Rosine over 62 years ago,later to become my Beloved Sister-In law. The good times we have had together over the many years @ family gatherings etc.are too numerous to place in this memo.However one that stands out in my memory is the trip with Rosine,Pat,Libby and myself we all took to Hawai. We rented a car on the Island of Hilo and drove all over the island.Some where in our travels some one read in the rental contract,(THIS VEHICLE IS NOT TO BE DRIVEN ON THE OFF ROADS OF HILO). Needless to say we were stunned,however no problems did arise from our ignorance thank God and we all had a big laugh. Over the years we have had alot of laughs when we would all get together @ family gatherings.Needless to say they are all dearly missed by me.
Sincerely
William A.(Joe) Choate

I am so sad to hear that Rosine passed away. I remember her playing the organ at church and after the service I would climb up on the bench next to her while she finished the song. She would always greet me with a laugh, and I didn't know until I was older that in climbing up to the bench I was standing on the keys you played with your feet, so I was adding a few extra notes to her song!
God Bless you all and I am so sorry for your loss. Rosine will be greatly missed!

Dear Family of Rosine,
I was a teacher in Lawndale for many years and met Rosine through her activities as a Trustee for the school district and as a member of the Lawndale Council PTA. We worked together, attended a few out-of-town PTA conferences and became dear friends. She loved to talk about Pappy, and we swapped many funny husband stories. Her devotion to the children of Lawndale and their families was amazing and her support to the schools was greatly appreciated.
The Angel Tree and Christmas baskets were some of her great projects, but being a friend will always be part of Rosine's legacy.
My condolences at this time.

My thoughts and prayers are with Rosine's family. She was such a sweet and kind lady. My husband and I were neighbors of Frank and Rosine for many years. My girls when they were little loved to go to the Drees home on Easter for their egg hunts. They were special people. Rosine you will be missed.
