Knew Rose many, many years ago, and got to meet her again several years ago when she was at Maple Village in Rutland. MY prayers to her family.

Those we love don't go away. They walk behind us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved, Still Missed and very dear. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.
