I have met so many wonderful people since opening my business in Bridgeport nearly 23 years ago, but none more generous, supportive, and gracious than Rose. She spread her love and kindness around the neighborhood, never forgetting her friends and family. I was fortunate to have had her loyal friendship along my life journey. Rose will be missed with tears, but more importantly, she will always be remembered with joy!!
