I worked with Rose at National Van Lines for about 12 years. Rose never had a bad thing to say about anyone. She never wanted to ask for help because she didnt want to bother anyone. She always listened if I had a problem.
She was very loyal to her family, friends and coworkers. I listened to her stories and it seems she had a very rich life. I just ordered Covid masks from Hart Schaffer. I believe she was a seamstress there. Rose had quite the collection of jewelry and always color coordinated her outfits!
Although I never met her kids I feel I know them. She loved all of them dearly.
I lost my mother last year in April at the age of 100. I feel grateful to have had her in my life so long. Also that they dont have to suffer during these unsettling times. Please accept my sympathy.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. I worked with Rose at National Van Lines for 15 years. She was my first friend there. She was so welcoming and warm. Always came into the office dressed just so Rose had standards of the best kind. She was always so positive, optimistic and sweet natured. Such a charming and kind lady. It pains me that she left us in this dark time. If only I could have shared all these feelings with her loved ones. Maybe it would have bought some small comfort to them to know just how very special and loved our Rose was. She was an amazing lady. I shall never forger her kindness to me and to so many others. It was an honor to have know such a exceptional person.
