Rosa has been a part of our lives for 30 years since our children were in the nursery in the Mt. View 1st Ward. She was the absolute best. I had the honor of working in the nursery with her for a couple of years. We became best friends. She had endless energy in serving others--taking care of someone's children, cooking and delivering dinner, serving in primary, Relief Society, etc., etc.; such an example of true love and charity. From our family, Fred, Diane, Nichole, and Tron we say, "We love you, Rosa." (And we can hear her clearly say, "I love you more.")

Christie and family, What a beautiful person Grandma Rosa is, both inside and out. Thank you so much for sharing her with us. Although she will be greatly missed by those of us left, I am certain many are rejoicing to be able to see her again on the other side of the veil. Much Love DottieLou

To Rosa's family. . . We love your mom very much. She was always so kind and loving to us and our family. She was also a shining example. She had a wonderful sense of humor, too. We are sad that we can't attend her service. We are serving a full-time mission in Farmington, New Mexico. We are sorry for your loss and will miss Aunt Rosa very much.

Dear Maxine and Family,
During many years of employment at Legacy Retirement Residence, I seldom met anyone who always, always had a smile - but your Mom was smiling the day I met her and never changed. She had a beautiful smile and a beautiful spirit. I send my sincerest condolences and hope the wonderful memories you must have will help you through this sorrowful time.
Sincerely, Robyn Glahe
