I was just thinking of Rose yesterday. She was one of the original members of St. Brendan Prayer Shawl ministry. I enjoyed being with her there. Saying prayers for Rose.
We loved her very much. She was an absolute joy. Thank you for sharing her with us all at West View. The Activities Department will sure miss her presence.
My family knew her from Prov. And then reunited with her when she moved to Riverside behind my Aunt’s house . She was a nice person and enjoyed her and her husband Tony coming to my home. My thoughts and prayers to her family.
Sorry to hear of Rose’s passing. I knew her from Boy Scouts.
