Not sure what to say?

I knew Rose from the Highway Lounge as a kid. Later in my life she would shop at Kroger's on Hill Ave. where I worked during high school. I came to know her kids at East High and later at restaurants we worked together. She was one of the spunkiest ladies I knew. I don't know how she kept her family going and working hard at the restaurant without going crazy!!!! I will always remember Rose as a wonderful mother and friend. You were lucky to have Rose as your mom. Sincerely, Debbi...

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. Judy Kintner Barrett (niece)

So sorry to hear of Rosie passing. I remember her from going up. Most recently from the Oswego Family Restaurant. She was a lovely person, always smiling and kind. I am the daughter of Harry and Barb Gain from Moecherville, graduated from East High with Bill, my brother Steve graduated with Ed and I got to be friends with Candy at the restaurant. God Bless your mom, grandma and great grandma. RIP sweet Rose, you will be missed.

RIP .Will always remember the St. Marie family gatherings great food and people .Sandy Millman I still live in Frank's house in Olney .Bless you all

My condolences to the family. I met Rose when I started washing dishes at the Hiway Lounge then later a bus boy. My sister Wanda the cook and my sister Belinda bus girl then waitress. Rose was always hustling when she was working and I'm sure a lot of people wanted to sit in her station!

Berkland Family, So sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. I have so many great memories of her. May she find another highway lounge in heaven.

I remember meeting Margaret many years ago at Oswego High School because one of her boys was in trouble at Junior High!!! Can't remember which son or the minor offense. I could tell she was a loving mother. In years since, we have meet occassionly coming or going to Oswego Restaurant. Very friendly and warm lady with a memory. Gary Eagleton

Jim! So sorry for your loss. Our prayers & thoughts are with you & your family. Lin & Joe Toma
