Rena, I know your heart is broken, but my goodness how lucky to have your Mother 93 years. I wish I could have met her before her illness. You amaze me with your total "June Cleaver-ness" but, I know this came straight from the matriarch herself. She will always be proud of you and will always be watching over you. Love always,

Ben & family, Having been nearly part of your family for over 50 yrs it's hard to express our feelings. Your many trips to Colorado after we moved here & all the polka dances to remember. Rose will be missed but never forgotten.

Dear Don and Jeannette, Jeannette, you said it well, when you said the loss of a mother is the greatest grief a child can have. I knew Rosa, only through family gatherings, but she was a lady, and a beautiful woman. Accept our sympathy as you grieve, and we will pray for all the family. Love Danny and Angela in SC

We only met Rosa once - at Don's wedding when she gave us the keys to his car to decorate in style in 1961. Our sympathy to Don and his entire family.

Rose was truly a wonderful woman. We met Rose and Ben in 1975 when Faye and Chick introduced Dave to me. Been at the home (at that time on Charles) many times and just loved Rose. She was a gracious woman. Faye is one of our best friends and has always been there for us and we want to be here for her and her family. Remember all the memories and keep them to your heart. My mom has been gone for 34 years and she is still loved and dear in my heart. Remember mothers were the heart of the family. Our prayers are with the family, especially Faye, Chris & Ben. Our Love, Barbara & Dave

Aunt Rosa was such a delight those times we had the opportunity to visit with her and Uncle Ben.

We think of each of you her children and grandchildren and pray that your hearts may find comfort in time.

Much love to you,
