Dear Bob and family, there never seems to be a good time in life to say good bye to a parent -- no matter at what age... especially your mother, who was so kind and full of life, as I remember her in the good ole school days, when she always, no matter what, remained jovial and up beat with all of us.
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy.

I loved Rose. She was such a sweetheart. I lived in Paw Paw for 10 years and went to PPUMC.

We spent a good many times together. Enjoyed the Past Matrons suppers and gettogethers. Enjoyed the Cedar Lake evening with Past Matrons, long in my memory.
