To the Family of Rosa Mae Johnson Jones: Sorry for your loss. Ms. Rosa was my playground director at Biddleville playground location at Northwest Junior High School during the summer months in the 1950's. She was very good with the young people during that time. We will be praying for you. John W. Love, Sr., West Charlotte Class 1962, West Charlotte National Alumni, Second Ward and West Charlotte Men's Breakfast Club. John Love, Charlotte, NC.

I was Ms. Rosa's "pew buddy" as she would say, at church during the 10:45 am service. Not only were we "pew buddies," we became greeting card friends. She was a pleasant person with a beautiful, warm smile. The news of her passing has really touched me. But I take comfort in knowing that Heaven has open arms and is waiting to receive her. She was that unique flower that God needed in his garden. May the family and friends receive the comfort they need, not only at this time, but in the days to come.

Rosa has been my dear friend and mentor for many years during my Christian journey. She has listened to my problems and offered wise words of guidance as I worked my way through them. She often gave me a reason to laugh and feel encouraged.
As a longtime member of Missionary Group 5&6, she was a loyal and caring friend to many of her sisters.
We will cherish her memory in our hearts and will certainly miss her earthly presence.
Praying God's blessings of peace and comfort for you all.
