Not sure what to say?

Rose was my mother. She was kind, sweet, and cared much about her family. It was an interesting fact that she died on the 21st of July, and my dad died on the 21st of November and she was born in 1921. Take care of her Dad.

Love you,

So grateful for all the stories you would share, whether it would be from your experiences being raised during the great depression to being part of the greatest generation and how everyone pitched in just because it was the right thing to do. You could always tell a good story whether it was about some big event or just about a simple trip to the store.

Love,

Love always, your daughter JoAnne

Joanne and family my Condolences prayer and blessings

Jo, Roseanne, Nicole, Jen, n the rest, so very sorry for the loss of your mom and grandma. I always enjoyed chatting with her when I came to visit, just won’t be the same. Also, loved picking out birthday cards for Rosie cause she always got the joke and laughed, even ones that said she wasn’t buried in the back yard yet. She was caring, smart, funny, and sharp and I’ll miss her. Val
