Rose Kane

Grandma Rose,

Thank you for being my champion. I can still hear you praising qualities in me that I didn't know I had. My self deprecating humor never sat well with you, I have learned why. Thank you for telling my friends to "call later", when I was napping..I didn't appreciate it then, but I understand it now. Thank you for sending food back, reprimanding a waitress for a dull fork or a poor attitude...we shouldn't tolerate that. I hold my head high due to your life lessons...

Dearest Mom,
Everyday I will see your face, hear your laughter, and feel your touch.
Butch feels blessed to have been in your life, and I always wished Dad had met him. He knows that he loves the children and me. I told him.
I see you sleeping peacefully now, and I miss you terribly. My life will forever be changed. I love you. Karol

Karol Johnston, Surprise,...

Dear Grandma,
How do you say goodbye to someone who has given you life, shown you the way, taught you love, compassion, generosity and shared a lifetime of wisdom? You saved my life and lifted me up so many times. I am so sorry that your last years did not portray the example of the grand life that you lead. I hope that I will do your memory proud and that I learned your lessons well. I shall strive always to teach Hannah and Kayla all that you taught me. Jeff, the girls and I will miss...

Dear Grandma, You will be missed dearly. Thank you for all that you did to make me the person and father that I am today. You have touched us all in a very special way and we will always remember you. Allison,Brooklynn,Clayton, and Campbell will miss you too. I promise to give my children the guidance and support you always gave me. I will make sure they eat their fruits and vegetables. You know they need that potassium. Thank you for taking such good care of me when I was in Florida...

Our deepest sympathies and prayers are with the family of Rose Kane.
