She will be missed tremendously.

Rose and I were at Wachovia for quite a few years together; she in Sales Finance and I in Banking. She was always always pleasant. I do not remember once her being upset or complaining. I was in a group of co-workers who met at her house to work on a craft project one night and we had such fun. I have missed seeing Rose but there is no doubt that she is with Our Lord. To Rose’s family….treasure your memories as I know there are many and she certainly loved each of you.
