Rosie's children are a marvelous legacy of a life well-lived.  Cindy is one of the people on earth whom I most respect and love.  My sympathy and prayers go out to all of you.

Joyce and Family, my heart and prays go out to you during this time of loss. Over the years I have had the honor to spend some time around Rosie, and can honestly say that she is a warm and kind person. She will be missed. Rest in Peace Rosie!

Dear Ron
Beth and I only met your mother a couple of times but she was one of those people you will always. Our condolences to you and your family. remember.

Rosie was my favorite aunt. Her sense of humor and warm personality will live in our memories forever, along with her infectious laugh. We are honored to be in her family.

Rose became part of our extended family when we were first posted to Colorado Springs and became dearest friends with Joyce and Michael. She was indeed a special person and we will remember fondly every precious moment that we shared with her. Our heartfelt sympathies go out to all who were fortunate enough to have made her aquaintance.

I worked the night shift with Rosemary at the JCP data center, she was so much fun we laughed and keep each other awake during the slow times. Rosie always made cookies for me when I came over to work for her, she even taught my wife how to bake chocolate chip cookies. What a wonderful lady, I was blessed to know her, she will be missed.

Would enjoy attending services if closer.  My sincere sympathies in your loss.  Never had much personal interaction with Rosie thru the years but was always pleased with our few conversations.  Cousin In Law Maurice

Ron and family:

I was sorry to learn of this and wish you peace and comfort in the memory of your mom at this difficult time.

Although I never had the pleasure of meeting Rosie, I have a vivid picture of her in my mind, thanks to the stories shared by Joyce and her family.  I know that she was a kind, generous and loving person, who was at the heart of the family.  May she rest in peace, held in fond memory and treasured in your hearts.  All of you are in our thoughts and in our prayers at this time.

I was blessed to become a part of the Olberding family through my marriage to my Dave.  I recall the time that we visited the Olberdings in Kansas City last Christmas time with my two boys, and their comment was... "mom, everyone is so nice to us and they all seem to like each other"....  Rosie loved to spoil everyone who entered the door.  She showered us with all the warm comforts of her home, including her amazing treats in spite of the physical pain she endured.  Rosie was a courages and beautiful woman who loved her family with all of her heart.... I am so thankful to our Heavenly Father to have been welcomed into my new family. Thank you God for Rosie's life; please take good care of her in Heaven!!  I love you, Rosie.  Thank you for your son and for all of your silly jokes that made me laugh so hard :) 
With love,
Your new daughter in law
Diane.

Every time I think of Rosie I will smile.  I always have.  Rosie is an immensely respected person with qualities that we should emulate, well, there are a few exceptions ˜-).  Rosie was never vain; honest as the day is long; funny and material things never ranked high on her list.  What mattered to Rosie was happiness through love, health and large family gatherings.  I will forever keep Rosie in my heart and be comforted that we have another angel watching over us.   I will miss you.    Michael
