I am sorry to hear of Rose passing, she was a very caring person, not just with people but animals too. I remember in school when she and Sandra Gillespie would walk over to check on the horses during lunch. Rose will be greatly missed by her love ones, I pray that the grace of GOD will be with her family and everyone that knew and loved Rose.
