Rose Kemp

I am saddened to hear of your loss. I had the honor of working with Rose Kemp on several projects. I will really miss seeing her at several womens events in the Kansas City Metro Area. I will miss hearing her voice when calling me from across the room...My family will continue praying for yours.

[Unspoken Thoughts While Reading The Twenty-Third Psalm]

Dear Rose:

I admired you for your strength and determination as you continued to advocate for women & families. I recall the sound of your voice and labored breathing during WB teleconferences as you guided staff on measuring the results of WB accomplishments. During many of those conversations you shared knowledge that you had personally gained throughout your career and years of dedicated service.

You...

To the family of Ms. Rose Kemp,
I had the honor of meeting and working with Rose when she was beginning her rehabilitation phase after being in the hospital. As one of her therapists, I got to be a part of watching this incredible woman work with confidence, unending determination, poise and grace to conquer her obstacles and to return home. She is an inspiration and I, too, am a better person for having the chance to know her. May God hold her close to His heart.

Dear Kenneth and Deborah:
How sad I was to learn of your mothers passing. She was the true champion of Women's Rights in our area. She was such a nice person. I loved being in the same room with her and when she was speaking, everyone listened. Her presence commanded attention. She has left us all much wiser. May the memories of your mother keep you strong. God bless you. Much love.....Linda

Mrs. Rose Kemp was truly a phenomenal woman who enriched my life. She helped to bring me and my daughters a mighty long way.

Rose Kemp was a treasure to all of her friends in the Kansas City Federal Community. I had the pleasure of serving with her on the Federal Executive Board for several years in the early 1990's. If Lahoma Yates were still with us she would be the first to say that there was no other lady as grand or special than Rose Kemp. She was always there with a smile, helping hand and caring advice and of course a lovely hat. She was always smoothing the way for all of us to be better and more caring...

Deborah, I was sad to hear of your mother's passing, but glad to know that she was so loved and respected. My thoughts/prayers are with you and your family.

Deborah: It was such an honor to work with your mom and you when she was recognized as a STOP Violence Coalition "Honorary Star." She truly was a Kindest Kansas Citian and what a role model! Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. Monica Meeks and Mike Hackett
