Oh the places we have been! What wonderful memories we have of Alaska, Disney, 40 years of cottages, Albuquerque, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, Reno, Lake Tahoe, New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Vegas, “the River” and of course our last road trip to Bayfield. Wayne & I were happy to be your traveling partners here on Earth. Fly high Rose! Until we meet again.
We are so sorry for your loss and sorry we will not be able to share memories in person. Aunt Rose was wonderful to all who knew her. She always made us smile. The Richards Family
I have much love for my sweet auntie Rosie. Too many memories to state here. She was always so good to my family.
Nana Rose we shared countless memories that I cannot pick only one….. but the one that stood out to me the most was my first and only trip with you and my family to Florida and we all went on the space roller coaster and I remember her going on with me and I kept telling her I didn’t wanna go on this particular ride but she kept kelling me to stop being a scaredy cat n go on and we’ll be off before I knew it… well lord and beholdI went on and screamed the entire ride i screamed so much that when we got off everyone asked me if i was ok and why i stopped screaming… nana then chimed in and said it wasn’t that bad… you’re still breathing right…. as i said with a tear streaked face yes nana…. she was my biggest cheerleader next to my parents….. fly high nana i love you….
A few months back I went by Aunt Rose for tea and cookies. Nice Time with her it was. RIP Aunt Rose. Till we meet again
Thank you, Rose.. for your generosity and the times you invited me into your home.
You are missed with love.
