Our son’s grew up together and were in Demolay together. Rose was my swimming partner and a wonderful friend. My fondest thoughts and prayers are with the family.
Rose was like a 2nd mom to me. She was very patient and understanding. Rose loved us even through all the trials we passed her way. She really knew how to put up with us “boys.” I have great memories of hanging out with Stuart. Our prayers are with you all.
Rose was my supervisor at WSH’s Legal Offender Unit. She was one the most kind-hearted and generous persons I have known. She was the best. Mel
