I met Rose when I worked for Rudy on the State Maintenance crew. She was so kind and warm. They were both so supportive of me being the only woman on the crew in those early days. I got such a nice card from Rose after Rudy passed. And now the news of her passing is also very sad. She had a very special beauty both inside and out.

My condolences to Rose´s Family. My husband and I often ran into Rudy and Rose on our walks and would often spend an hour or more visiting in the spot we encountered each other. She always had a fun story to share. When Rudy passed I sent her a card and she responded. Always such a fun Lady. God´s blessings to Rose-Rudy and Family.
