Dr. Rose Eyring Calder

To the Rose Calder Family,
I was sorry that I didn't hear of your mother's death until last Saturday. I wanted to express my love to her wonderful family. It was such a joy to have Grant and Rose Calder in the Valley View Stake. Sister Rose died on the same day that Sister Wylene Fotheringham died. Two great women who gave so much and truly honored our Father in Heaven with their lives.
Sister Calder was so kind and helpful to me. She edited my book, "The Spirit Knows No...

My memory of "Aunt Rose" (mother's aunt via Catherine Eyring Edwards) includes an infectious smile and twinkle in her eye. She always had a quick wit and called things as she saw them -- with amazing candor and directness. Reading her obituary gave me more than a child's insight into this marvelous woman. I'm so thankful to have felt of her energy and joy for everything good. Her example truly is an inspiration. No doubt she is moving on to greater adventures! We extend our love and...

What an amazing woman. I know her experiences enriched your life. I express my sympathy for your loss, but she certainly led a life well lived.

My father, Carl Grant Eyring, Trowbridge, California, 84 years old, shared that he remembered when Rose taught at Mesa High and came to visit at his parents house, Andrew and Edith Eyring (Rose's Uncle and Aunt). He said he remembered Rose at that time as a very pleasant sweet young woman that was very enjoyable to talk to.

We lived at Northpoint the past 10 years and knew Rose well. She was always gracious, sharp and personally caring. We were especially impressed with her diligent reading and studying, even in her later years. It was such a struggle for her to get around in recent years and we are grateful that she has been freed from her physical encumberance and can now get around without difficulty. We're certain that their has been a great reunion on the other side of the veil. It has been a special...

I feel blessed to have been in Aunt Rose's sphere of influence. She was so accomplished but so down to earth and anxious to make me feel special and loved. Even in her latest years she recognized me with Christmas cards and notes always with sweet and loving sentiments. She also had a fun sense of humor and felt the joy in life. I can imagine the reunion she is having with all who love her on the other side.

Gretta, I'm so sorry for your loss. I just lost my dad a few weeks ago, and I understand what you're facing. So this is just a note of empathy from an old Olympus Thunderbolt friend.

I only knew Rose in the last few years of her life but she impressed me greatly. She was kind and intellectually sharp. My family I have been taken back by her incredible achievements outlined in her obituary. What a remarkable life. The Calder and Spendlove families will be in our prayers.

I love you Grandma. You truly are an inspiration to me. Thank you for all the trips you took me on, the honest advice you gave, and all of the emotional and financial support through the years. Thank you for raising an amazing son that I have been so blessed to have as a father. You are truly an amazing and strong woman. I know you are at peace now and your legacy will live on through all of us. You will never be forgotten.
