Rosie, We loved our visits even know they were short. and not frequent enough. You always had a great smile and your laughter was infectious. You will be missed. Our love always. The Ingrams Spencer,Jerry,Bruce,Mary,Mark and Peggy.

I was so saddened to read of the passing of your loved one.  I have very fond  memories of Rose and most of them center around playing basketball together at EHHS.  She was a peach and a great teammate and/or adversary on the court.  Tough to get a ball past her.

It will be hard not to look toward the heavens view all the stars and not think of you and all the happy memories we shared at St. Francis....Would you like to swing on a star. Carry moonbeams home in a jar......Linda

Rose, I miss your laugh, as unique and as special as you.  I won't ever hear the refrains from Happy Birthday or White Christmas again without a tear in my eye or a smile in my heart thinking of you.  God Bless You.
Brenski

To Rosie, my best friend - I will always remember everything about you...our Saturday night pizza & laughs and how you always took care of me.  You'll always be in my heart.  
Love you, Dana

Will miss your "Happy Birthday" songs.  I know you are singing your heart out in Heaven.  Maybe you can meet me there the way you did in dialysis.  Love you.
Sue

There are no words to express how sad I am today. No time in my life compares to those spent with you and Mama--the smiles, laughter and the many adventures . I will probably never experience anything like it again. Inga, Tom, Hurst, Beth , Joey and all the Thibideau"s have all had a better life because YOU were in it. A friend, co-worker and neighbor ---no one could ask for more." Those were the days , my friend!"   Love, Tomallee

I was in high school with Rose where we were good friends.  We still kept in touch with our annual letters at Christmas.  I'll miss Rose but will always have memories of our good times together.

Our sincerest sympathies, Billy, Stephanie, Will and Sophia

Rose I will always remember your sense of humor and large heart when  it came to  freinds, patients and your love of animals.  I miss you buddy, we shared alot of laughs together.   Beth Hussey

Years ago, at St Francis Hospital, when it was already clear to me that Rose was a great nurse and a special person,I came to work at 3 pm on a day that she had worked the first shift and found the atmosphere tense because of differences between key staff members and I asked her, "Rose, how can you stand it here all day?". She swept the ceiling with her eyes and said,"I don't hear a thing." I have made that my philosophy.

Rose made our nighttime introduction to Davita Dialysis bearable with her wonderfully cheery disposition and eagerness to help.  She will always be remembered.  Bill and Maureen Grothaus

There will be only one Rose- kind, smart, funny, and full of laughter and love.  You will be missed by so many but most by those you have touched just by being you.  Sing on Sister!


from your next door neighbor and friend, I will miss our wonderful over the fence talks.  Will miss you Rosie, Kay

Rose - I will always remember those wonderful years living next door to you and your Mom who was our kids surrogate "GRANDMA". You were always ready to get me in trouble and I loved it.

Inga Mikloiche

Rest in peace dear friend - the holidays will not be the same without you.  Thanks for the memories, but most of all thank-you for your friendship & love thru the years.

Rosie, ONE OF A KIND!  From adorable little red head to a super nurse, good friend and cousin. We had so many good times on Linden St, the camp and Oak Bluffs. Will miss you, Janet

Rosie Red you will be sadly missed but your laugh will go on forever.  

-Margaret

Rosie, you will be missed deeply. Family reunions will never be the same, the laugh, the smile, and your great sense of humor. Love you forever. R.I.P. Cuz, and the "Top of the morning to you"!
Anne

Rose had a special way of connecting with all  kinds of people - the young, the old, the haves and the havenots. We shared so many things - baseball, Bob Steele, bad laughs and terrible singing voices. All my kids remember her fondly - a special person
Ciel

To my one and only sister in law. I remember our fun filled shopping trips. Even more I remember the long ride to Mexico.  How naive and courageous we were. I have seen and experienced your compassion and healing nature as an excellent nurse. As a fellow nurse I can certainly follow your example. I only hope that others continue in the path you have followed. Carol

My family extends their thoughts and prayers to you at this time. Rose always was known for her unique laughter, and she laughed a lot. She will be missed by her cousins and close friends.
