I spent so much time growing up at the Royce house! Roz was always welcoming to ALL the kids in the neighborhood! I will always have fond memories of that time. My condolences to everyone!

Ros and Mike Royce´s family lived two houses from my deceased wife Sharon during 1964-1970. Sharon counted Ros as one of her best friends during and after those dates! We, as other neighbors do, often spent
many times getting together for activities. Kids playing, parents playing cards in the evening, and discussing the week´s progress or problems!
When Sharon was terminally ill and bedridden in 1992, she asked me to call Ros and ask her to come be with her. Ros came and sat next to her for a long while. Ros was a very caring and compassionate person.

Roz was the sweetest, most caring woman I had ever met. She had eight children and was so patient and caring with them. Heaven got a special Angel.
