Not sure what to say?

Simply the best Grandmother! Ro set people up for success and always believed they would reach their highest potential. Gram loved, and was loved in return, by all.

Years ago I was in a running group with Wes. He always spoke highly of Ro and the wonderful family they had together. He also made sure we ran as hard and as fast as we could. Ro´s energy was always with our team, expressed through Wes. . All our best to your family during these times. Lis Cooper

Grandma Ro and I grew closer these past few years, conversing frequently about our medical complaints and political issues. I miss her dearly. She made me laugh and feel loved and supported.

My thoughts are with you Erik & Kari and the entire family. I feel grateful that I knew your mom and had very positive and loving visits with her. Marianne Quarstein Riding

Ro was a very supportive aunt, who always knew the right sort of thing to say when you needed it the most. She and Wes took me on one of their early dates, and had me as a jr bridesmaid at their wedding.

Fond memories when Ro and Wes, my father´s brother, visited us when Dad was in Vietnam ... was very comforting!

Even after retiring from Brush College, Ro spent countless hours decorating our school library to make it look so festive. Her kindness was beyond measure.

I have fond memories of visiting the Roseda at the Kvarsten home in the 60´s
