Praying for the family during this time. I always enjoyed visiting with Mrs. Rose at Sherwin-Williams.
Remembering Rose through the years, I first met Rose in 1951 when we entered 9th grade at Holy Angels Academy and continued our friendship throughout high school, raising our families and her many years of service to Motherhood of Jonesboro. Rose was inspirational in her faith and always was the first to offer help to those in need. I will miss her. May God comfort her family knowing she rest in the eternal love of our Father.
