Rose,
A couple years back I caught Kent walking downtown. It was Wacker Drive, just south of Lake Street. I was driving in traffic, and wasn't able to talk, or get his attention. I immediately felt that he misses you TREMENDOUSLY. May the countless beautiful memories continue to heal the souls of all those that were fortunate to know you. : )

Happy 50th Birthday, Sweet Angel Rose!
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. May you celebrate your day in heaven, looking down upon us all.
I love you.
Anne

Rose, I think about you so much, I pray for your family I know your watch over them from above! I wish I could heal the heartache for your family! You are truly missed even us who didn't see you often, your kindness and hugs will never be forgotten! how blessed I was to know you!

My prayers to the Folgers and Wojtowicz families... I am shocked to discover Rose is no longer with us. I am blessed to have known Rose through her brother Tommy. Rose along with Kent have always been great people. Friendly, and very inviting. Her girls should always know how much their mother loved them, and how proud she was of them sharing new photos at every opportunity. I am deeply sorry she had to go so soon. I hope she says 'hi' to Tommy for me. I miss them both very much for they have brought joy to so many. May God bless their families.

You all are in our prayers all the time. Rose had a way of adding flair to any celebration, and always, always remembered the kids--even before she had any of her own! She was a devoted mother and wife. We all miss her and will always be here for you. We love you.
Bill and Sarah Ray, Elizabeth, Jonathan, Caroline and Daniel

I've only just learned of Rose's passing today. I want to express my deepest sympathies to her family. I know the pain of losing her is immeasurable. My heart goes out to all of you. I know she is with her brother Tom in heaven. I also know how that knowledge isn't always the comfort we need, when only their being with us could fill that void. God will be there for you all as will Rose's spirit watching over you forever. There will be a day when we once again see the loved ones who have made our world. Until that time, you will find the strength, courage and love to press on in your deep and abiding faith in God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The closeness of family and friends will lift your spirits while sharing your memories keeps those who have left us alive in our hearts. You are so blessed to have a close family, hold fast to that now and always, with love and compassion,
Kristine (Maffin) Lang

To Rose's parents and siblings...I pray for God's peace to you during this difficult time. The holidays seem extra hard with the loss of loved ones, and you have lost two of yours this year. Just know that we are praying for you all. Losing a sibling myself, I can relate to the incredible pain that you are experiencing. Remember the happy times and embrace them. May God's love embrace you during this difficult time.
Love and friendship,
Neal and Libby Folgers & family

There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you and the girls. We are all praying for God's peace to be with you during this challenging time.
It is still so hard to believe that Rose is gone. She will be greatly missed. Holidays and family gatherings will never be the same. Kent, Melanie, Maggie and Maddie, just know that the love she had for you all will live in you forever. Try to dwell on the happy times, and talk about them often. It helps the healing process. We love you all. Turn to God for strength. Speaking from experience, He can help you through this. All our love and prayers, Libby and Neal and family

We continue to pray everyday that God will grant you all His peace through this difficult road ahead.

God saw you getting tired
A cure was not to be
So he put his arms around you
And whispered "Come with me".
With tearful eyes we watched you
And saw you fade away
Although we loved you dearly
We could not make you stay
A golden heart stopped beating
Your tender hands at rest
God took you home to prove to us
He only takes the best

I love and miss you every day, darling!

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Rose's wonderful family, her warmth and kindness touched many hearts. Rose's legacy will live on in her beautiful children and wonderful family. My thought and prayers are with the family.

Wojtowicz Family,

I cannot express how very sorry I am for your losses in the past few months. I heard about Tommy's passing and was shocked. To hear that Rose had passed away was unbelieveable. I cannot imagine how hard it had to be to bury your brother & sister - son & daughter. You have a strong family and I will continue to pray for you all. May God bless you all and make you stronger each and every day. From all that has been written I know she lived a wonderful life with Kent and her daughters. May their smiling faces always be a reminder of all the happy times you were together and bring a smile to all of your faces.

Rose and I worked together at BIS for several years, and I will always remember her stopping to compare notes about our little girls. I know how much she loved them.

I would just like to express my deepest and sincere heartfelt thanks to the incredible show of sympathy and support me and my three girls have received over the last couple of weeks. My wife was truly a special person, and an devoted mother, friend, and spouse. I was truly honored to spend the last 14-1/2 years as her husband. I married into the best family you could ever imagine. May God bless you all, and please remember Rose is smiling down on us all in peace with the God.

I’ve had the privilege of knowing & working with Rose for many years. Along with so many others at the City of Chicago, we deeply grieve the loss of Rose, a friend & colleague, but we will also cherish fond memories of her in our hearts.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Folgers and Wojtowicz families.

Dear Dan and Karen My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Rose was wonderful. I worked with her many times over the years. Sometimes we even got off the train together at 94th Street. My sympathy goes out to her family.

My deepest sympathy to Rose's family and all of her many friends.
I had the pleasure of working with Rose on several City projects, and I will always appreciate the kindness she exhibited at every turn. God bless.

Dear Kent and Girls

I am so sorry for your lost, you have my deepest sympathy and condolences. I have also lost a very special friend; I remeber the fun we shared at the CFD and even now I will miss some evening Rose and I would power walk to the Metra Train laughing and talking; one thing that I do know; Joy will come in the morning. May God bless you and your family.

I had only met Rose a few times, but I am deeply saddened by the news of her passing. Rose was one of those rare people that one is instantly drawn to because her warmth and kindness were palpable. Rose's family has my most heartfelt sympathy for their loss.

Love, thoughts and prayers from our family to yours. It is unbelievable that you are all being called upon to draw on your strength and courage again so soon. No one should have to say goodbye to someone who has been so special to so many. We will miss Rose and our visits with her as we miss our time with Tommy. We pray that the love you have for one another helps to get all of you through this. God bless Kent and the girls and God bless the Wojtowicz Family.
All our love, The Pasternak's
Maureen, Leslie & Kevin, Lauren & Amjd

I am saddened by the news of Rose's passing and my thoughts and prayers go out to her family. If you knew her, you knew that she was always moving, walking fast, texting, talking while moving from one meeting to another. I attended the Mayor's Management class with Rose, she would come to class get a message to run to another meeting and come back to class and jump right back in where she left.
Rose always talked about her girls and her husband Kent. May God bless you all

We were very saddended to learn of Rose's passing. I always enjoyed seeing her at either school or sports activities with her beautiful family and darling girls. She was a very lovely person and I hope her family will find comfort knowing what a truely lovely mother and wife they have. I know she will be looking after them all from heaven. Our hearts and prayers are with you.

Marci, Mike, Chris, Erin and Morgan Growcock

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

Rose was a very nice person. I enjoyed talking with her at work mostly on the elevator. She was always upbeat and never let on that she was sick. She will be missed.

Dear Kent And Girls,  I am at a lose for words on the lose of your wife and mother.  She was a fantastic and caring person.  My prayers are with all of you.  Be strong and God will get you through this trying time.  Joann

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
My deepest sympathy

Rose was a very special ,kind and fun neighbor. We had many hours of fun with Rose.She touched all the hearts of the kids on the block with her kindness and generosity.We will miss you so much Rose,may you rest in peace.

I am deeply, deeply saddened by the news of Rose's passing and my thoughts and prayers go out to her and and her family. Rose was a true champion of any challenge that crossed her path and having the opportunity, honor, and privilege to work closely with her in BIS, I was able to experience that firsthand. She always kept family and work in focus and perspective, truly something that I admire to this day. We will all miss you.

Words cannot express how sadly I feel to learn of Rose's passing. Rose was always a true friend and will remain in my thoughts as the loving, joyful, caring person she was.

I pray that Melanie, Margaret and Madeline always know how much she loves them and that she will live forever in their hearts.

With deepest sympathy to both the Folgers and Wojtowicz families,

Rose always had kind words for everyone and was a pleasure to talk to. We are saddened by this loss. Our heartfelt condolences to Kent and the girls.
Rick, Monica and Sean

We are so sad to hear this. We have many great memories of Rose. We will always miss her. Always a Great Person and loved by everyone. Rose has so many great qualities, and always knew the importance of family and everyone that meant something to her. I could not possibly have enough room to mention all of her greatness. Our prayers go out to each and everyone of Rose's family, and loved one's and all the people that Rose has touched their hearts that are left behind without her that must go on.

I had the pleasure of having Rose as a boss, while she was at BIS for several years, and she was the greatest. I will miss her dearly. My heart and prayers go out to all her family.

I am so very sorry to hear of Rose's passing. As Melanie's 3rd grade teacher, I know that Rose was a devoted, encouraging, and loving mother. She will be deeply missed.
