Rose faced every day challenges in life with profound strength and courage. Rose was

strong, kind, loving and supportive to many in her life. She was a great cook especially

her banana cheese pancakes were always perfect. She loved to read mystery action

books and really loved to watch “Murder She Wrote” and “Judge Judy”. We were truly

blessed to have her as the head of the family, and she will be profoundly missed.
