I'm deeply saddened by the passing of my Angel of an Aunt  Rose. I call her an angel because as far back as I can remember; she was taking care of someone and always did so with a smile on her face.

I grew up in Sunnyside (East Chicago, IN), just down the street from my Uncle John and Aunt Rose and they were like my second parents.

To make money as a youngster, I couldn't wait for the winter to shovel snow, or for autumn to rake leaves in the neighborhood. The first house I visited was my Aunt and Uncles because they never turned me down and always gave me the opportunity to make a few dollars.   

My aunt was a great cook and baker. I loved her brownies and I always remember after baking, she would place them in a cookie jar on the front porch. Whenever I came to visit and seen the jar, I would sneak one before knocking, being careful not to be caught with my hand in the cookie jar.  

Aunt Rose made the most delicious chocolate cake with mint frosting! I served 20+ years in the Air Force and whenever I came home to visit; Aunt Rose would make me that chocolate cake because she knew how much I loved it. After retiring, I visited Aunt Rose and while eating my passion, asked if I could have the recipe. She looked a little hesitant but said she would mail it to me. Well, months passed and no recipe. I called her as a reminder and this is what she said I'm so sorry for not sending but thought if I did the joy of making it for you when you came home would no longer be special. Back then, her response brought a tear to my eye, just as it's doing now. 

Well, I got my recipe shortly after our conversation but her response so touched me that I have yet to make that special chocolate cake with mint frosting. However, this is about to change. In honor of my beautiful Aunt Rose, I'll make that cake because I know this is what she would have wanted. 

With all our love, Donnie and Michelle Poskus (Orlando, FL)

Rose is my great aunt on my mother's side, she was a sweet woman.may she rest in peace

I was really sorry to learn about Rose's recent passing. She was a very sweet lady who enjoyed being with her Ladies Aid Society friends and making noodles. I will miss her.

I have met Rose on a few occasions through Edie and Brian.  I remember her ticklish nature and personal attention to the person she is speaking with.  I remember her excellent care of her husband as he passed through a difficult disease.  I would later care for my father with the same difficulties, and think of Rose's example.  My deepest condolences to Brian, and his family.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Rest in peace Rosie.

Rose is my great Aunt....So sweet and kind and giving of herself to everyone. A genuine sweetheart who always took care of everyone. God gained a beautiful angel with this gem of a woman... R.I.P. Rosey
