Only a rose I give you,

Only a song dying away,

Only a smile to keep in memory,

Until we meet another day!





Only a rose to whisper,

Blushing as roses do,

I'll bring along

a smile or a song

for anyone,

Only a rose for you!

Rose... so aptly named. She was a warm, generous, beautiful person, but with an urban toughness and a mind and wit that was sharp as a thorn.



Her wink... her inimitable wink, always said, "Okay, Dion, I'm going to let it slide, but you're not fooling anybody... least of all me, with your lame excuses."



I owe her much... in my youth she literally "opened doors" for me. Her kindness and generosity made me and my wife members of her fortunate family.



We share with all the family, their sorrow and deep sense of loss.



With deepest sympathy and love,



Greg (Dion) and Marge

This was unexpected and sudden to us. Our hearts go out to the family, (to my cousins that I haven't seen in years.) Aunt Rose will be missed and in our prayers.
