I met Rose the weekend we moved in across the street from you on Rosehill. She was SO pretty and brown as a berry in her bikini. She was so adorable. Your mom was a wonderful neighbor for many years and I have great memories of our visits all those years. She was fun and had a wonderful kind heart. My prayers and love to all of your family.

I am saddened to read of Rose's passing. I worked with Rose in the 1980's at KU Med. She was so much fun to work with! I received a Christmas card from her yearly until just a few years ago. I will remember with fondness her smile and sense of humor. Please accept my condolences.
