Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
I always remember Rosie, she is one of the kindest ladies and always had that wonderful smile whenever you would see her. We were so lucky to have her as a neighbor growing up. You have my sympathy, always hard to lose your mom.
Rosie was such a delight to know and “love”. She always had that wonderful smile to greet you. I felt so honored to be able to bring her communion. On my last visit she could no longer receive communion but I prayed with her and I truly believe she heard as she would rustle a little. I will truly miss her. My deepest sympathy to all of you and your families.
Dean, Pat, Joleen and families: I am with you during a most difficult time; keep the memories of your mother alive and she’ll remain with you always! Love, Cousin Barb
My Deepest Sympathy to All!!
Loved Rosie to pieces! When she lived in RWF she’d stop in wherever I was working at the time & see how I was doing then we’d visit awhile.
Mom always said; Rosie was like a sister to her.
Great times & memories!

Rosie was such a kind, generous, and wonderful neighbor to us as we grew up on the farm. She and our Mom, MaryAnn, were such good friends. Now they can visit together again in heaven. Our sincere sympathy to you all in this time of loss.
