I met Rose through my work at Nazarene Headquarters in Kansas City, Missouri, as i was privileged to assist missionaries around the world, but especially in Africa. Rose was so much fun and a hard worker. She loved the people of Africa and the people of Delaware. Most of all she loved and served the Lord. She was a wonderful friend. Prayers and thoughts of sympathy for her family.

Rose was a blessing to my wife and I from the time we arrived in South Africa until the time she retired. I am thankful to the contribution she has made to the Kingdom of God.

Rose had a gentle kind spirit and was so kind to us in Swaziland when we were a young family. May she rest in perfect peace from all her labours and receive a great reward. Wonderful lady.

Rose was a dear friend and fellow missionary in South Africa. I first met Rose when we were both students at Eastern Nazarene College in the early 1950s. Thank you for sharing the details of her homegoing. Prayers for the family
