Jer,
Jack let us know about Rose's passing. Unfortunately Alison and I are out of town (Arizona)and will not be able to attend her services. We both, however, want to pass on our sympathies to you and the family. You all have been by Rose's side for the past few years and comforted her during that time. We can only imagine the feelings that you are experiencing but be sure that there is a large network of friends and family that will always be there for you as well.
