Mary Rose, a humble and compassionate lady, leaves a legacy of kindness and warmth. Her selfless nature and willingness to help those in need inspired us all. She had a special gift for making everyone feel welcome and loved in her home. Though we'll deeply miss her, we take comfort in knowing she's now surrounded by God's presence and His loving angels. Rest in peace, dear Mary Rose. Your memory will be cherished in our hearts forever."
