I was recently sitting with Rose at her kitchen table signing her taxes. This is very hard to believe and quite a shock to me and my husband, Stan. We have enjoyed knowing her and Jerry over the years and assisting them with their tax preparations. Our sympathies to the family. She was a sweet and kind lady. She will be missed.

Alan and I will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers! We are really going to miss the time we enjoy spending with Rosie during our Ohio visits, but we are so glad she didn't suffer long. She was such a kind and loving person -- I learned a lot of important life lessons from Rosie. How lucky am I?! She sure touched a lot of lives...

My deepest sympathy to all of Rosie's Family. I have fond memories of the Behras, beginning with Clarence and Marie; my Dad's sister. The last time I saw Rosie was at my parent's Gene and Marguerite's 60th Anniversary party in 2004. Even though Jerry was too ill to attend, Rosie did and said she was glad to see all of the "old gang" again! Rosie had a beautiful smile for everyone and I will always remember how kind she was to me. Heaven has gained another Angel and now she is with all those who loved her so dearly here on Earth.
Yours sincerely -
