    I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ve lived across the hallway from Rose for the past two years (in 156). She was a very nice lady and I’m truly saddened by her passing. My deepest sympathies!

    Rhonda ,
    Your Mother was a beautiful woman inside and out. Even though I did not see her in the last SEVERAL years, I do remember her in the early years when she was married to your Dad. She was very well respected and loved. She will always have a special place in so many hearts. Please be comforted as she is with our Savior now.

She is in a better place and wish her and Dennis love and peace.
