Rose . . . this gentle, kind, beautiful soul . . . has been a gift from God given to us all, but especially gifted to you, her beloved family. I know there are no words that can contain your sorrow, but there is this: for certain her parting from this earthly life lives on . . . forever . . . in all those whose lives she has so deeply touched. The list is endless . . . from family and friends and animals through all the lives of students she has taught for so many years. I can only come to terms with the loss of Rose knowing that the amazing life she has had on this earth is now needed by our Heavenly Father for another purpose. I know your family and all those who have known and loved Rose praise the Lord for what has been her inspirational presence in our lives. May peace and serenity follow.
