While so many people's theme in life is "Why Pray when you can Worry!", Rose's life theme never went down that road. Despite her 3 year painful battle with cancer, she always remained very positive and sprite. We loved her and the cheer she brought to our church these last few years. So many that were impacted by her life, had to take note of their own. So glad we were a part of her last few years of life here on this earth.
