Not sure what to say?

I went to Catholic Central with Rose. After our last CC reunion, we had a lengthy chat that made my heart smile. She had a generous loving and kind manner and it was a blessing to have our paths cross. Thank you, God, for this dear friend! Pam (DeKam) Burns

Sorry to hear of your mom´s passing. I worked with her many years ago at Amway. Thoughts and prayers, cherish the memories.

As a close friend of Tresa's, I remember Rosa as being so warm and welcoming! I know that Tresa and she had a very close relationship and that she was always there to support and encourage her children. I know she will be greatly missed. May she rest in peace.

Rosa was a wonderful neighbor of my folks. She was witty, kind, inclusive, opinionated, fair and a fabulous cook! And so much more... She helped my dad home when he was lost She helped my mom care for my dad when we all needed help She helped me see how one simple act of kindness can change the world And, in September, she helped teach me how to REALLY make tacos She will be missed by many, especially by our family

Rosa was my sister-in-law and not too many people knew this but we exchanged each other´s experiences to help the other out. She excelled in sewing and I did in knitting and at the time I needed a maternity top for a wedding and she wanted a few pairs of mittens. It was a match made in heaven. So she set out sewing and I set out knitting. I received many compliments on my top as she did with her mittens. So, Rosa I thank you and now you can rest in peace.

I remember Rose from high school, because we were members of the Catholic Central Class of 1968. It is fitting that she passed into eternal life on Christmas Day. A kind and peaceful soul, she is now in the best place of all. Descanse en paz, Rosa. Richard Andresiak

My thoughts and prayers are with the Staeven and Cantù Families. Rosa was a very friendly, kind and caring person. Rosa will be dearly missed by all who were blessed to have known her.
