Your mom was an incredible lady who was a dedicated prayer warrior and a tenacious intercessor for everyone she met. Her smile lit up the room when she entered, and her pleasant and caring way will never be forgotten. You will miss her a lot, but don't forget that she taught you to hold fast to the Lord no matter what. I am praying that the Lord will comfort you in your grief and uplift your spirits. I love you guys, and I will miss her sweet, positive attitude.

Orville and the Person family, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I pray that God will give you all the strength you need to accept his holy will. Where she is there is no more sickness or pain, may she rest in eternal peace.

You will be missed greatly. To the family, remember Mother Rouse was a strong warrior and a person of faith; follow in her footsteps and all will be well. I am praying with and for you now and after. I'll never forget when Mother Rouse came into my life after my Mothers' death, becoming my surrogate Mother. She loved her some Bill. I never say good bye, so I'll say I'll see you later, your Oldest Son!
