To the Carter family
Rose was a relative of mine through her first marriage and over the years we kept in touch. I had the pleasure of spending the day with Rose and Nick when their honeymoon cruise ship docked in Turkey. i will never forget that day, nor will anyone else who had the pleasure of meeting the love birds.
I was so saddened to hear of Nick's passing when I spoke with Rose in November. I suspected Rose had perhaps left us or was not well when I repeatedly got the answering machine. I am sorry not to have been able to speak to her once more.
From the time I was a small child until today, Rose always held a special place in my heart. She was an inspiration, a woman ahead of her time, and I am lucky to have known her. She is loved and will be missed.

To the Carter family, we are so sorry to hear about the death of Rose. We are neighbors and we were away during the time of Rose's death. We only met Rose on several short occasions. At each time, we enjoyed the short visit. I, Jack, would visit with Mr. Carter while Eileen would visit with Rose. Rose was very pleasant and congenial. We did on one occasion to have the privilege to go to dinner with the Carter family and it was a fun time. At that time we met Paul and Don and his wife Jeannie. We are so happy and greatfull to have had this opportunity and we have stayed friendly with the family.
We are so sorry for your loss in such a short time after Mr Carter's death. When people are together for such a long time, it has to be so hard to survive. Now they will be happy forever, together.
Our sincere condolences and may the happy times you all spent with Rose, help console you at this very sad time.
