Our condolences to Rosie's family. She was such a kind and gentle soul. Rosie and my mom, Clara Mae (Barton) Harbel graduated together. They were childhood friends. Prayers of comfort for all.

Mike, Scott, and Gayelynn,
We are saddened by the death of Aunt Rosie, but also so happy that she's in Heaven with Uncle Clyde and our Dad and Mom and all the other crazy aunts and uncles and the rest of the relatives that have gone before. We know that there was lots of hugs and happy tears when she got there!! We all loved her very much and we are so sorry for the loss of this dear woman. We are all praying for you all.
Love, the MN Drakes

I am Fran Drake's daughter. I'm sorry to say I did not know Rosie all that well but I've heard so many people speak very highly of her. I know she is with Jesus now and I know she will be missed. God's blessings to all of you who I left to do the missing. Seems like she had a very full life....

Aunt Rosie,
Always welcoming. Always smiling. Knowing her was a pleasure, and being in her family circle was a joy. She and Uncle Clyde were always favorites of mine.
