Aunt Rose was my long-time best friend Nancy Leson’s beloved aunt.
I met Rose & Ritchie on their several trips to Seattle, and always enjoyed their company.
Rose was full of life and personality and I know she will be dearly missed by many.
I spoke to her recently after Rich’s passing, and we had a lovely chat.
I’d like to think that somewhere, somehow, they are together.
Deepest condolences to her entire family.
May her memory be a blessing.
