Well she was 82 when she passed. So long ago, she was active in her own ways and I am told she helped out the Somodi family well. They truly miss her in their own way. I keep in touch with her one son Mikey Cox. Fond memories.

There is no love like the love of a Mother. One is never ready to let her go. I have lost both my Mother and my Father which I miss very much. I want to express my deepest Sympathy to Mike and his family. Like her name Rose, I am sure she was a beautiful loving Mother.
