Rose was a dear lady who attended my church for many years along with Allen Morse. I will keep the family in my prayers. I will not be able to attend the service since I have another service to attend at the same time.

I just learned from my cousin, Denise Nichols that Rose died. She was a wonderful, loving companion to my Uncle Elwood for many years. I loved being around them as a couple as they seemed to enjoy life together. Sending our love and sympathy to her daughter and family. Beverly and Don Leaf

Dear Ruth and grandchildren of Rose. I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. We in the Cherry family have such great memories of her. Remember when my dad proposed to her on Christmas Eve and we were planning their wedding? She had such love for others. I'm sure the local grocery store will miss her coming in to buy the paper. Such a sweet spirit! I'm sorry that I will not be able to attend the service tomorrow. Went to her house this morning hoping to see you. Please know that you are all in my prayers as you lay your mom to rest. If you get a chance I would love to have coffee with you while you are in town. My love and blessings to you all.

I am sorry for your great loss. May you find comfort in Psalm 34:18  "Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted. He saves  those who are crushed in spirit " . Our heavenly Father does not leave us without hope of seeing our love ones again. Acts 24 :15 assures us "There is going to be a resurrection ."  May your warm memories also give you strength to endure these difficult times.  With Deep Sympathy!
