My dear friend, Cynthia I am saddened to hear that Rose has left us. She was blessed to have you as her daughter and I know you cared for her with all your heart and soul. Your mom was a spitfire! I would know her voice anywhere...full of laughter and awesome stories. Always giving of her time and lending a hand if she could. For my sister's bridal shower, we put her to work cleaning strawberries. Her hands were so wrinkled from washing the suckers and she did not want to see another berry for some time. Rose was such a great cook! I got to experience Christmas Eve in your kitchen....lots of noise, lots of laughter and lots of food! The best! I am so fortunate to have had you and Rose in my life. She will always remembered with such fondness. To Rose's family....what a wonderful bunch you are! There is a lot of love and closeness among you. I am sorry for your loss, but I am sure Rose is having a blast in heaven.
