As a little girl, I remember Rose from my mother's "Sewing Club" - I'm not sure how much sewing they did but they sure had a lot of great stories and I just loved listening to them all. I recently spoke with Rose as she was always thinking of and concerned about my Mother and family. What a wonderful woman! and my Mother, Shirley, loved her dearly.
