Eddie,
You are in my thoughts during this time of loss. Rose and I became friends in the 6th grade when I was transferred to Cressona. I went to her house many times after school. Time has a way of putting distance between friends. She is now in God's hands and no more suffering.

Faust family,
We are so sorry for the pain you are going through right now with the loss of Rose. She was an amazing woman to everyone she met. Her strength is something to be inspired by. She fought for so long, and the Lord finally decided her battle was to be over. May it bring you such great peace knowing she was met in Heaven with big open arms by Jennifer,who kept watch over her.We are so proud to have known her for the short time we did. Our hearts and prayers go out to you.

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
