I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Rose. She always sent Christmas cards to my father, Russell Garich. He sure enjoyed hearing from her. I have fond memories of when I was younger of visiting Joe and Wanda. According to my dad, nothing was better than growing up on 23rd and California. All the best to your family. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
