I have been Rose neighbor since I moved to my home in August 1993. She was such a sweet person and will be missed. I am honor to say she was my friend. She would of given the shirt off her back if she needed to. Anytime I would ask something from her or talk to her she never refused. I just found out that she passed away. I'm so sorry for your loss Dave and Samatha. I know Rose was your world. An awesome wife and a awesome mother to Sam. She would always talk to me about Samatha and how proud she was her. Prayers for Sam and Dave.

Rose I met you one time and the one time was like I knew you a lifetime. I will always remember the day of my Husband's Cousin Chris and his Wife Mary of their renewal of their vows and how you invited all of us in your home to witness that beautiful and wonderful day. You had a huge heart and touched many lives. Thank you for taking care of our Cousin Chris and his Wife Mary. Go RIP and sit amongst the Angels with Mary.
My prayers to the family.
