Oh boy, this is hard haha. Rose was a customer of mine for quite a few years and I always got excited when I saw she was calling. She was such a sweet, caring lady who was full of gratitude. And she always made me laugh; we would just die laughing on the phone about some goofy story she had. I wish I could have told her all this before she left us. I'm going to miss her a lot. My family and I will continue to pray for all of you and we send you our love.
