Dear Bruce, Brad, Randy and family,
You are all in my heart, thoughts and prayers! I went to lunch with your mom and mine last time I was in Warren. So glad we had that time with her! She has been a part of my childhood also and I will always remember her with great love and fondness. I’m so saddened for your loss. Love you all!
Brad, Randy, Bruce and families;
You have our deepest sympathy and love. Rose was kind (but firm) to us kids growing up in hook-town.
I saw her last at Wegmans shopping a few years back and we chatted about the good old days
when the family lived on West Street. It seems there was a path beaten into the ground between our house on Kenmore and theirs!
Always that great smile…
Blessings, peace and comfort to you all at this time.
My Great Aunt Rose was kind and beautiful.
