to the family of Rose:

My mother, Gert Kornetz, was a dear, dear friend of Rose's. Gert died suddenly in 1982. Gert was a cousin to Ruth Isenberg...who we all called cousin Ruth. Whenever cousin Ruth came to visit here, she either stayed with Gert or Rose. Rose always complained about how much luggage Ruth brought with and we often laughed at it.

Recently, I was thinking about Rose and then today I read her death notice. I will always remember Rose and her great sense of humor. She made everyone laugh and she was a compassionate, lovely human being. She often talked about her boys with a great sense of pride. My mother had such good times with Rose. They went to LA together to see Ruth, and spent a lot of time together.

I guess Rose was one of my favorites of my mother's friends. She lived life fully and gave a lot of herself to family and friends.

My condolences to her family and I know you have good memories of her that you will hold in your heart forever.
