My sister Rose traveled to so many places and had so many interesting stories to tell about her adventures in different countries.
We had spoken about her recording her stories so that her daughter or grandson could later write them down for everyone to read. Unfortunately there wasn't enough time. I, so, wish we had thought of that sooner.
What I most remember about Rose was her ability to remember the smallest detail of an event that might have happened the longest time ago. Whenever I couldn't quite remember an incident clearly, I knew I could count on Rose to fill in the details.
I will miss her.

Like many of Rose's colleagues at C4, I remember a dedicated, hard-working individual who genuinely cared about each and every client she served. She was fun to work with - I had the pleasure of being a fellow Supervisor at Recovery Point with Rose. She met life with humor and grace and I remember her fondly.

Rose was someone I could always count on for positive and supportive advice. She was always kind and gentle with me. I thought of her a family. She will be missed. My deepest condolences to Malcolm, Annette, Mark and Scott, along with her extended family. Rest In Peace Rose.

Rose was an amazing woman with an outstanding talent for loving people. We were blessed to have her as our friend and fellow grandmother. Our condolences to her husband, her children and her grandson Scott. She will never be forgotten.

Mom could make me belly laugh like nobody else. She was also very sharp until the day she died. And yes, you'd better not serve her soup that wasn't hot or you'd hear about it.
