Dearest Rose, Life on Earth will not be the
same without you. Your Spirit, Your Faith, Your Love, Your Devotion, Your Loyalty, And how you carried your Personal Crosses are all The Qualities We will remember you by.

Just Last Friday we had the privilege of visiting, I Thank Jesus for allowing that as our Earthly Goodbye, I now know that was His Divine Intervention.

Your Excitement of being an upcoming Grand Mother simply radiated from your Sparkling Eyes. I now know that you have met your Granchilds' Soul and will sent them safely to your Daughter.

As we often spoke of Angels, I now know that
you will be the Best Angel to Watch Over your Daughter and Grandchild.

I thank you for all your prayers for me and my son, all prayed while you were in the deepest level of pain that was humanly possible.

Jesus needed you now as one of his soldiers and Angels. Hard for us all to understand, as we
all miss you here on Earth.

I only pray that you did not suffer when you saw "The Light", and Gods' Angels swaddled you with their wings, and you made an express trip to Heaven.

We will miss you dear friend, but you will never be forgotten.

Love Mary and Joe

Written on Behalf of My Mom, Mary Evans, and Myself as well, Joe Evans

Our deepest sympathy for your loss. May you find strength and comfort in God who promises to be "a secure refuge in times of distress." (Psalm 9:9)

You were a second mother to me when I was a kid, Rose- I even referred to you as "mom." I can't believe you're gone, but I have a feeling that Jesus in blue jeans welcomed you with open arms and a walk on the beach. Matt and I will take good care of Bridget and Maddie, just as I know that you'll take good care of Linky and Baby A.
