I was so saddened to hear about the passing of Mrs. Rose. She was my supervisor during my time at GSK and was so kind, caring, and always helpful and happy. Praying for each of you during this time.

To all of Miss Rose’s famil,y, a sincere prayer for each of you. She will be missed and remembered by many.
I have such fond memories of my friend, Rose. We grew up together. We’re in church and school together.
Tad, Barry, Tracy and family, so sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry about your loss of Rose. I am a first cousin of Edwin – his mom and my mom are sisters. I met Rose shortly before they got married, when I was only 6. She had beautiful long, wavy blond hair. She looked like a movie star to me – she was the most glamorous grownup I had ever met, so I really looked up to her. I will always admire her, especially for her sweetness. I am glad she has finished with her suffering, but so sorry that her family has to suffer her loss.
Rose and Sandy were more like brother and sister than cousins.I lived with them for several years when I was in elementary school. I will miss Rose but glad she doesn’t have to suffer any more. My condolences to her children and grand children.
Rose will always be in your hearts with the wonderful memories left with each of you. Thoughts and Prayers in the coming days, weeks, months and years to come !
I don’t know if you can remember me, but I was a close friend of Sandy’s. We went all the way through school and graduated together. I remember you as Billy Taylor.
Barry, Tracey, Tad we’re so sorry for your loss. Such a sweet lady.
I just found out that Ms. Rose passed away. My condolences to the family. I haven’t seen Ms. Rose in a long time, but I’ve always liked her. She always had a nice smile and was a nice lady. God bless y’all!
