Rose was my manager at Bell Canada for many years, she was a very caring kind person. She saw me through a tough time personally and was a shoulder to cry on. A great listener... She talked fondly and highly of her family especially how proud she was of her grandchildren. We saw Annette regularly in Admin Svcs. Rose will be missed greatly by all...

So sorry to hear she had been ill.

Annette, Paul, Boyd and those who are dear.

We are all so sorry to hear of her passing. Although life was not easy for her, Aunt Rose had strength and perseverance. She is and was an inspiration to me all these years as I am sure she was to many others in her life. She will be remembered always. In this World, if there was a Book of Life, her life story would surely make it to the pages. She is an inspiration and a success story worthy of such a book! I am sure you are all suffering her loss and I want you to know that my prayers are with you.
