It has been, perhaps, 20 years, last I saw Rose, but this I remember about her. She was always willing to include others into her family. And because of this, there would always be people coming and going from her household. So much so, in fact, that at times it looked like a bus station. This meant that you put your keys on the hook of the door when you entered, because inevitably someone would pull in behind you. God blessed her with the grace and the ability to have a family that extended beyond the already large family that she already had.

God bless your entire family which carry on a part of her.

Sincerely, Karen and Charlotte Stevenson

God Bless You Aunt Rosemary, May You Rest In Peace With The Lord. To Uncle Ralph and all my cousins, my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. As time goes by, your sadness will fade away. It will be replaced by a new love and appreciation for all that she has done. Whisper a "Thank you", she will hear you and smile. Her strength and love is forever in you...
