My family had the great privilege of knowing Annie Rose while she and our mother Marilyn were roommates at Golden Living Center for the last year and a half. She was a great lady, and the world has an empty space now that she has passed. We know though that her life was well and long lived, and she is now with God. She is no longer suffering-- we here are the ones now suffering her loss. We will always love you and miss you Ms. Rose!! Dixie and family, our hearts hurt with you and you re in our prayers.

With deepest sympathy to the family during your time of sorrow. Psalms 46:1 says: God is for us a refuge and strength during this difficult time and may God grant you the comfort to endure.

Family, God has called for one of his chosen special few to come and receive her just due reward for walking the path of life he had planned for her. He allowed us the honor and privilege to see her on his path. May we have been so attentive that we took careful note, to immulate one who defines love, spirituality and character. I and my family will definitely miss her. But she will now smile down upon us all with the family that is in heaven awaiting her arrival. Let's keep her in our heart and minds for all of the days we move on our paths of life. I love you Mamma Rose. Your grandson, Marvin.
