    I knew Rosie many years ago and worked and rode with her some to work at Chemstrand. She was one of the sweetest, most humble people I have ever known. I have not seen her for a number of years but I know she is at rest with our Lord and Saviour. I cherish the memories of her many years ago.

    I have never personally met Rosie, but heard great things about her from Nora.
    Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. I know this time is grievous for you all. However, life is but a vapor, but memories last forever! Cherish those memories in your heart, that Rosie will continue to be with you.
    Let the love she has given to you live through you that others will reflect back to her. May God strengthen you all. My heart goes out to you.

    Even though she was not technically “kin” to me, I always felt that she was my Aunt Rosie. I have many fond memories of her. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time.

    My thoughts and prayers are with all of your family. Rosie was a wonderful woman as well as a mother. I have known her for most of my life and considered her my friend.

    She will be greatly missed. Guess she can plant those peas and beans in heaven.

    There is no finer woman than her! There is no greater loss than that of your Mother!
