Dan and family, I haven’t called because I just cry. I keep writing and erasing because Rose is the epitome of a very special lady and it’s hard to find adequate words to describe just what a loving, caring, giving, sharing, helpful, friendly person Rose is. I’ve known her many years and she is always very genuine. You will be very missed, Rose!!! Love and hugs for you, Dan, and Rose’s whole family!!
